Not quite, I would not recommend editing the entries file. Simply
delete the tutorials directory and leave the entries file alone. The
tutorials directory will be identified as missing and a subsequent
update will restore it.

Removing the directory from docs/.svn/entries file will only work if
the entries file marks docs as incomplete. If docs is not marked
incomplete then the client will not know about the missing directory
and will not restore it.
