I have a directory that must not exist on logout and rm -rf is not

(they are all in the same dir) and I want to *NEVER* have the plain
text checkouted files in my dir when I logout, *BUT* instead of just
deleting it I need to check them in... so how do I make my .logout so
if the file exists it will not exit and give a error saying that dir
is still there? (minor but unimportant side effect of the version
control system is the dir will have a different name everytime it is
made but always the same prefix)
Have you thought about what should happen if for example, the login
session is forcefully terminated by either of:
1) power outage of the server
2) power outage on the client
3) network problems (ssh or TCP connection drop)
4) administrative command (e.g. root executes "killall $shell")
?
I don't think there is a way to protect from all of those, so any effort
in protecting from only part of the problem looks useless.
On the other hand, if partial solutions satisfy your requirements, maybe
you can do something with
