svn delete of a folder will leave the folder in place until you
commit. There is no way around that, except that in SVN 1.7 the
working copy format is removing those .svn folders and so this issue
will go away.

I think there might be a general problem with undo that it does not
trigger any SCM hooks or allow the SCM provider to be involved in the
process as it is during the refactor. We technically need to be able
to run svn revert here and there is no opportunity to do so.
