No problem - that's what the list is for ;)

That actually _is_ the intended behaviour. The 'svn export' command
works like that.

There were a lot of discussions about this on the subversion mailing
list already, because you're not the only one who wants this function
changed.

The answer on the subversion mailing list usually was: write a small script!
Actually, a simple 'copy' command with the right switches will work: the
".svn" folders are hidden, so just copy all files, excluding hidden
folders. AFAIK the copy command does not copy hidden files and folders
by default, so a
copy path/to/workingcopy /path/to/somewhere
should work?

Anyway: if you can tell me how I can implement this in TSVN in a user
friendly GUI way I'll do it. But keep in mind that I don't want another
command in the context menu for this and that the original behaviour
must be available too!
