Cleanup is a very-specific Subversion command that only cleans up
after certain Subversion commands that are killed in the middle of
running.

If you delete .svn folders your working copy is broken and cannot be
repaired other than via checkout. In some cases, you can remove the
folder that is missing the .svn folder and then run svn update on a
parent and it will recreate it. I think that might actually only work
with missing files though.

Subversion 1.7 is rewriting the working copy code to remove the .svn
folders. This will immediately make all problems like this disappear.

For now, it is your responsibility to make sure you do not do things
that delete or alter the .svn folders.
