Workaround is simple. Just make a small change in how you do it so
that it complies with what Subclipse expects. When you open Eclipse
and create a workspace, specify a new non-existing folder somewhere.
Then use your same File > Import >Existing projects option. Having a
.svn folder in the root of the workspace is unexpected. We have not
tracked down what causes the folder to be deleted yet, but the
workaround will not have the same problem as this how I have always
used Eclipse.
