Partially because each svn working copy directory knows about which
subdirectories are managed by svn as well. Before doing a commit, update or
any other operation that modifies the working copy/repository subversion
places a lockfile into each of the directories it knows about to prevent two
svn processes messing around with each others files. So what happens is that
svn knows that there should be some subdirectories in your working copy, but
it cannot find and lock them. The safe alternative is to fail at that point
and let the user handle this situation.

Nevertheless a good choice IMHO :).
