There is a workaround for this on the SVN trunk which will be included
in 1.2. It's not perfect, because it requires you to do a cleanup,
rather than happening automatically. But it's a lot better than having
no solution except a fresh checkout. If you want to see why it can't
(easily) happen automatically, you will have to look in the issue
tracker.
