That seems to be the case actually. So that answers that question.
It does get a bit weirder. If I do the delete, the directories show
up. Then I do an "override and update" command. The package comes back
in the project, but the _svn packages still stick around in the project
tree. And they stay there even if I do a refresh command on the
project. I have to restart my eclipse client for it to clear up.
