Don't do that. Subversion doesn't know about this and also doesn't know how to
handle that. In general, deleting, adding (of course) and renaming/moving
should only be done via the svn commands.

1. svn update
This will restore the removed directory.
2. svn delete <dirname>
This will tell Subversion that you want that directory deleted.
3. svn commit
This will transfer the change made in step 2 to the repository.
