Here's what I often do: after checking in, and before switching, I
delete every file that isn't under subversion's control, like this:

        svn status --no-ignore . | egrep '^(\?|I)' | cut -c8- | xargs rm -rf

In my experience, misleading error messages are the single worst thing
about subversion.
