OK, the fix was not too difficult, once you know what to try: "svn up
missing_folder" brought it back.

But the main question still holds:

Ignoring the (interesting) question how I got into this state, I obviously had
a sticky revision tagged to the missing directory.

The question is now: How can I detect this when looking at a working
directory?

Ideally, I would like to recursively scan my working directory for any
deviations from a clean checkout. Looks like a job for "svn status", but I do
not see an option for displaying this. (I did try "svn status -v" before.)

Best regards
