You're not using export as it is meant to be used.
You should not be exporting things into a working copy.
Export to a new empty, unversioned directory instead.

What problem are you trying to solve by exporting the file into
a working copy? Maybe if you explain this to us we will be able
to show you a better way of solving that problem.
