Hmmm, isn't "All rights reserved" the opposite of "Licensed under..."?

You should mention somewhere that this script requires the mktemp
program, which is not standard on Unix.

You should mention somewhere that this script requires GNU coreutils;
otherwise, I don't believe mv, rm, cp and mkdir can be assumed to
support the -v option, nor will cp support -a.

This appears to copy the HEAD revision of each file or directory. Are
you sure this is what you intended? I would have expected to get the
file as of r345, or whatever revision I passed in to the script.

Also, did you mean to recursively copy added or modified directories?
Including the .svn/ metadata subdirectory? That is not what I would
expect when running a script like this.

Finally, I suggest quoting your filenames; some people use subversion
to store filenames with spaces and other interesting characters.
