That's ok that way. To get the status of a folder, Subversion has to
look inside the .svn folder inside that folder too.
Example:
top/.svn
top/sub1/
top/sub1/.svn
top/file1
top/file2
if you fetch the status for /top, Subversion get the status of sub1,
file1 and file2. Therefore the /top/.svn/ and /top/sub1/.svn folders get
read.
