Warning: It is important to use export instead of copy!
Yesterday I moved a directory inside one working copy and forgot about
the .svn directories. TortoiseSVN showed the normal green icon, because
it has found a ".svn" directory inside it. (I think this was the reason?).
I never would have noticed it if I have not seen that Subclipse shows it
on Synchronizing. After investigating with `svn st` I remembered the
copy from one to another directory.
Some people also don't work with Windows Explorer's "Show hidden files
and folders" option enabled and won't notice it.
Couldn't that be changed with the new Cache? Does it not do always
"full" status request for folders with the Subversion libraries?
I know that Subversion does not provide an option to check only the
status of a folder without children, but aren't children always needed
for the cache?
