We've had to deal with issues relating to a tool which is unaware of
subversion and regularly deletes and re-creates directories that are under
revision control. This causes them to become obstructed, so our script
wrapper is set up to automatically fix up the metadata.
Our solution is to do a fresh checkout off to the side and then replace the
missing/corrupted .svn in the appropriate directory. The other method is to
do a fresh checkout and then move the contents of your old working copy to
the new one.
Either way, you should be able to checkin once you are done with that.
