Looks like I was using the wrong command. I'm using Eclipse
+Subversion and it seems that you can safely revert back to an older
version of a project (=directory), and the files will be deleted as
expected...just not by using the "Revert" command! I *think* the
version comparison is working, although I can't seem to be able to
select any two revisions of the project/workspace from the history and
do a compare...it will only let me compare the current version with a
particular revision (I can get a diff between any two revisions of a
given file inside the workspace just fine).

Well, I am not really an expert using Subversion. I just recently
installed and added a project to it. I would suggest you use frontend
tools like TortoiseSVN (in case you are using Windows).
