Before I attempt to answer anything, why aren't you using Subclipse?

Most likely it's auto-building your project and the configuration is
such that *everything* is copied to that build directory - including
the .svn directories.

Because the Subversion libraries think that it's a different directory
from what it appears.

Again, why aren't you using Subclipse in the first place?
