title: SVN remove local files, retain in repository
body: <p>So here's a question that I haven't seen asked.</p>
  
  <p>Im using subversion 1.7</p>
  
  <p>I did an "svn co" on a directory that I do not need, but cannot be removed from the repository (other people DO need it). I can delete the local copy of the directory and that is fine, but when I run "svn up" on the root up restores the deleted directory. </p>
  
  <pre><code>  /rootDir
          /folder1.      
          /unneededFolder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can delete unneededFolder but svn keeps trying to restore it when I run update on the rootDir (rather than having to run svn up on each subdirectory). How can I tell svn to stop updating that folder in my working copy without deleting it from the repository?</p>
