There's a brute-force way that I occasionally use when SVN  
misbehaves.  In the directory you want to ci run:

find . | grep .svn$ | xargs rm -rf
cd ..
mv trunk temp
svn rm trunk
svn ci -m "Removed trunk"
mv temp trunk
svn add trunk
svn ci -m "Readded trunk"

It's far from perfect, but gets the job done.
