There are hooks for this already but clearly the build process does not
call them or else that is what would happen. It actually makes sense that
the build process does not call the hooks, as the intent is not really to
delete the items. The problem is just that Subversion happens to have a
method for storing its metadata that is not compatible with this process.

How does one identify that a folder is a build dir? This is a
project-specific semantic, it is not a generic concept that Eclipse can
just tell you.
