In general, I'd say it's worth solving the problem of not being able to
"make veryclean" and return to a pristine state, but in the meantime,
how about this:

Maintain one checked out copy where you never do any builds, so it stays
clean. Use svn up on that copy.

Use rsync or some other utility to restore your build copy to be
identical to that.
