Normally that directory should be reported "missing" and selected for
deletion in the commit dialog, which is your last chance not to commit this.

I reckon that the renamed directory is still visible in your working copy as
an unversioned directory isn't it?

You can undo this deletion by doing a "reverse" merge. Assume that your
commit pushed your repository from revision 9 to 10.

Select the merge dialog.
Select 10 as 'from' revision
Select 9 as 'to' revision

If you don't trust the system, select 'dry run' first. You should now see a
progress dialog telling you something like:
...
Added: D:\MyProject\DeletedDirectory
...

If that is what you hope to see, close the progress dialog and select
'merge'. Your directory will be back.

Cheers
- Lübbe
