I guess this problem can be archived.. totally pebcak :-)
I had in the past manually deleted a directory from the working copy,
commited, copied a new directory to the filesystem, and comitted again.
this was because i needed to update a 3rd party library. Offcourse i didnt
run into any problems when just continuing my work (comitting changes), but
as soon as i wanted to update, it's clear i'll have this problem because
there is no .svn in the new directory.
From now on, i will commit the new directory, delete it from the filesystem,
and do an svn update. This will give me the same new directory, but with
.svn in it :) (i think this is the easiest way with subclipse, on CLI i
would do stuff like svn delete, svn add)

And for the record: i found out that the phpeclipse build mechanism does not
involve any deletion (php is an interpreted language anyhow). Aso, the
other plugin that i use, filesync also does nothing to the original files,
it only syncs an external directory based on the project directory.
