RE: [TSVN] Bad to delete .svn or _svn folders?[Scanned]

Sorry, I'll clarify! Sometimes I might have checked-out some code, but
then later I might want to remove it from version control (as if I
originally 'exported' it).

If I delete the .svn / _svn folders is the effect the same as just
exporting the project in the first place, or am I going to leave
something bad in the repos by doing this?

I just want to occasionally turn a 'checkout' into an 'export' after the
event!

Thanks,

John

What exactly do you mean by "remove all the TSVN cleverness"? TSVN
doesn't do anything "clever"; it's using Subversion in the background.

If you downloaded the "special" version which uses _svn instead of .svn,

your working copy won't be usable by anything else, as stated on the
download page. But it doesn't do anything different as far as the
repository itself is concerned.
