Allow it to delete during the merge, but DON'T COMMIT YET. Do "check for
modifications" so you can see that the folder was deleted. Use "revert" to
get the folder back. THEN you can commit.

Actually you can also use revert from within the "commit" dialog where you
will likewise see the deletion, but then you risk accidentally committing
the deletion if you forget.
