Surely not: you removed any way for it to know what you have locally
is what is in the repository. The 'log' directory you have locally
can't be overwritten with what's in the repository because they *may*
not be the same thing. If they are not, Subversion would be destroying
data if it would overwrite it.

How do you get to the conclusion the assumption is that the folder was
deleted from the repository?
