New description:

 Add an action or filter to the end of /wp-admin/includes/theme.php
 delete_theme()'s processing when the write is successful.

 The use case is for managing a WordPress install on an SVN-controlled
 server. Whenever the CMS changes a file or folder (particularly in the wp-
 content folder) I need to be able to trigger an svn commit.

 See also Ticket #16396.

Comment:

 I'm reopening this as I feel #14955 is a bit different. That ticket aims
 to provide a way for the theme being deleted/uninstalled to clean up after
 itself. But this suggestion is more for a general action hook that would
 fire when a theme is deleted successfully.

 Since an active theme cannot be deleted, it would not be possible for a
 theme to use these hooks for the purpose of cleanup.

 `delete_theme`/`deleted_theme` theme hooks would also bring parity to the
 plugin deletion process.

 [attachment:"16401.diff"] is a refresh of a patch from #14955 worked on by
 @pbiron and @vetyst that adds these hooks.
