don't export into your existing working copy , but _from_ your working
copy into a new folder.

Just copy _all_ source files (without the .svn folders) to the new
wc. You don't need to copy the changed files only.

but make sure that you checkout the new working copy from the same
revision as the corrupted wc. Otherwise you would overwrite change
that have been commited in the meanwhile.
