[PATCH] Make mrproper skip private repo directories in 2.4

[PATCH] Make mrproper skip private repo directories in 2.4

[Art Haas]

Hi.

The following patch changes 'make mrproper' to skip the BitKeeper, CVS,
and subversion directories when that command is removing files. A
similar patch is in the 2.6 makefile. The 'mrproper' command removes
0-byte sized files, but removing these files from the repository
private directories can mess things up.
