You can switch the B directory in your working copy to an empty
directory in the repository. This technique is described here:

Um... I can't find where it's described. But you just create an empty
directory in your repository (if $REPO is the URL to your repository,
then "svn mkdir $REPO/empty") and then in your working copy you can
"svn switch $REPO/empty B" to make B point to that empty directory.
Everything in the B directory of the working copy is erased and "svn
update" won't repopulate it, and B stays in the repository so you can
always "svn switch" back to it later if you want.
