I've never heard of that happening. Do you have a reproduction recipe that can recreate this problem?

<facepalm>

Felix, you win the prize. I was looking for something to specifically match
one of the deleted folder names. There is a svn:ignore value of "*" in the
parent folder. Why someone thought this was a good idea, I have no clue.

Thanks for the help!

Clever clever. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that idea. I'll look
again at the patterns.

The fact that no one has heard of this problem makes me think I've missed a
source of ignore patterns somewhere. Time to quadruple check. I also see
from another reply that the registry is a source of ignore patterns, so I'm
going to look there as well.

Maybe it was ignored after it had been added to the repository (matched by some sort of wildcard pattern or the like). It would show up during regular commits since it's in the repo and items that are versioned cannot be ignored. After deleting however, it would no longer be versioned and thus matched by the ignore. So it would be interesting by which ignore rule it's matched and whether that rule was added after the folder. 

Another possibility would be that someone added the folder even though it was ignored from the beginning.
