What I was trying to say is that you shouldn't remove the .svn folders
of subdirectories of you working copy, since you will break your
working copy this way (there are still entries for the subfolder in
the parent's .svn folder).

That's nothing TSVN can savely do - it would require support for
operations like this in the subversion library.

On Subversion's users list there are sometimes similar requests, but
before the developers can thin of implementing these operations, svn
has to be able to deal with incomplete working copies. Karl Fogel is
currently working on this (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=695).

Kind regards
