I've deviced the following workaround. Alas I wiped my local files in
experimenting w/Subclipse(no great harm done this time which is why I
didn't take great care), so I haven't tested procedure properly yet:

- make a *copy* of the old Eclipse project
- delete Eclipse project
- check out existing project from Subversion
- copy all files from old Eclipse project to freshly checked out project.
- compare the two projects and delete the files that where deleted
from the existing Eclipse project but still existed under Subversion
