It does make sense to checkout the sources into a separate directory
than you are compiling from. SVN has a command export to make a clean
copy of the sources (without .svn-dirs and so on).

For example something like this:

mkdir ~/projects/
cd projects
svn checkout https://geany.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/geany/trunk geany
svn export geany geany-0.14svn # do this everytime you make a new compile,  
delete the old geany-0.14svn before
cd geany-0.14svn
# here youre compile commands

I'm building RPM-Packages on my own on my Fedora 8 System and this works  
perfect with every revision
 from SVN :)
