svn: Prefer to svn cleanup path instead of removing it before checkout

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D7557-source into generated-differential-D7557-target

In production, we have errors reporting that path is already locked or that the working copy cannot be locked when attempting to perform a checkout operation.

For some reasons, it seems that attempting to remove the checkout path before that operation is not sufficient for some cases.

So prefer to svn cleanup the working copy to ensure remaining locks will be removed, checkout operation can then be safely retried.
