Instead of just aborting or actually doing the export (which won't do anything really), we could ask whether the user wants to make the working copy unversioned, and then remove all admin dirs.

I think that is a better idea. Add an 'Unversion this working copy'
button to the export dialog is less hidden and a more obvious UI. I
don't like the idea of exporting to the same folder - a clever idea,
but not good UI IMHO.

Also, when someone askes how to unversion, we always point them to the
export dialog anyway. The instructions stay the same, it just makes it
easier when they get there.
