This is where I am confused. If you delete and revert "what" files? You stated that your dist folder is ignored... that means nothing in that folder is versioned which means nothing in that folder can be reverted.

I do know that svn is not just going to randomly delete files on your hard drive. As a matter of fact, the svn libraries go out of their way to NOT delete your stuff. For example if you have modified a versioned file and someone else commits a delete to that file, when you do an update the file is not removed from your drive since it has uncommitted changes.
