SVN clean and delete all unversioned/ignored files/folders in my working directory

# tell the user which file is being deleted. use printf
# instead of echo because different implementations of echo do
# different things if the arguments begin with hyphens or

# if rm -rf can't delete the file, something is wrong so bail
