Twice in the last couple of weeks I've found a directory in an Eclipse project called "./trunk", which if I expand it in Eclipse contains what looks like a copy of my entire project. If I look at it from Windows Explorer, the directory contains a subdirectory named "ant" and that's it. If I try to deletet this ./trunk directory, I get a warning message to the effect of "Do you really want to delete the project directory?" (sorry, I should have taken down the exact text), and whether I say yes or no it doesn't delete the directory.

The only way I've found to get rid of it is to delete the entire project and re-download from SVN.

I tried deleting the directory with Windows Explorer and doing a refresh in Eclipse and it didn't go away.

When I try to compile I get an error on one of the files in this directory, which I'm guessing is the first one it tries to look at because none of them really exist.

If I do a commit to SVN while this directory is there, it wants to add a "trunk" directory on the repository, below the "real" trunk directory that I originally downloaded the project from.

As anybody else had this problem? Any clues? I wouldn't think the name "trunk" was magic to Eclipse, but maybe it is.
