That exactly what I feared, you're trying to fit precious/junk handling
into this bug fix which, while related, will not allow addressing the
whole problem.

I am *not* trying to handle precious files here not delete junk files,
I'm just putting unversioned file away when they block deleting a
directory.

That's only *one* aspect and people are suffering from this *today*.
