Maybe combine with rsync? You should be able to do something like
(untested):

svn up ci-working-copy;
rsync -a --delete --exclude '.svn' --delete-excluded ci-working-copy
ci-build-copy
<do build in ci-build-copy>

Since you never build in ci-working-copy you should never have to
worry about reverting, and the rsync will handle the removal of build
stuff, reverting changed files, etc.
