You are sort-of asking for trouble if you have any dependency on
unversioned files being in a workspace at all, much less for them to
continue to exist when switching among versions with/without the
containing directories. I'd advise stepping back from the immediate
problem and thinking of processes that will always work with a fresh
checkout so that in the future you can use build automation tools like
jenkins, relying only on the contents of the repository even when the
build happens on a new host. It will simply your life even for manual
operations if you can count on that.
