Instead of really deleting the directory,
svn could rename it to something like .old.diretory,
but not generating an error.
Therefore, svn would never really delete data.
This behaviour would be also fine for svn:ignore I think,
without needing a new property.
Similar to a conflict where the old file is still around.
The point is:
This situation is a normal situation, and no error.
Therefore svn should not generate an error.
BWT, a worse problem is that if one user deletes
an directory, and then creates a new directory having
the same name. Then the user does not only have an old
directory with temporary files, but cannot do an update!
In other words, the user has done nothing woing,
but cannot update anymore before solving the problem manually.
