When I delete an asset in the editor, it is not marked for delete and I have to make separate commit in Tortoise SVN for deleted files . Seems like a bug to me.

Hi,

We do not currently mark files for delete form the editor when simply deleting files. We are aware of the issue, although files will be marked for delete if you follow the ‘cleanup redirectors’ listed in the ‘Deleting Files’ section of the documentation [here](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Basics/SourceControl/InEditor/index.html). We are however missing the feature to commit these deletions from the editor, we have this in our backlog.

Another decade old svn issue that’s _ **still** _ not in the bloody engine?

Seriously, what’s going on here with Epic? If it’s not in Fortnite you don’t care?
