Hello,
This is not a bug, but intended behaviour and I must admit that I actually
really love it - I can move around working copies, zip them up, stash them
on a CD, mail them and most important just delete them without a special
command. All of this would not be possible if there was a central area where
the information was stored.
If you want to get a part of the working copy without the .svn directories,
use svn export - it does work on working copies as well as on a repository
path.
If you don't like svn storing it's administrative data in the working copy,
you might want to try svk, it's build on top of svn and uses a central
administrative area AFAIK.
Otherwise, the enhancement request has been made a couple of times and I
seem to remember there's a ticket open but I can't seem to find it.
Oh, one last thing: please stick to the nettiquette [1] and don't crosspost.
