ls unknown always shows the result from the root directory of the
project (the directory that contains the _MTN directory).  So what you
see is the exact same "log", not "log" and "custom/log"...

What happens if you do "ls -a src/wmii-3"?

In any case, what I would do is an "rm -rf" on each of those
directories, then a "mtn revert --missing" and then "mtn update".
