TSVN manual is somewhat outdated concerning .svn folders

Hello there,

in the manual, I found an information that is outdated by SVN 1.7+

trunk/tortoisesvn/doc/source/en/TortoiseSVN/tsvn_basics.xml line 306

> A working copy also contains some extra files, created and maintained by Subversion, to help it carry out these commands. In particular, each directory in your working copy contains a subdirectory named <filename>.svn</filename>, also known as the working copy <firstterm>administrative directory</firstterm>. The files in each administrative directory help Subversion recognize which files contain unpublished changes, and which files are out-of-date with respect to others' work.

It's in the 2nd chapter, so I think it's suitable to adapt the
corresponding information box from the SVN book, which reads

> Prior to version 1.7, Subversion maintained .svn administrative subdirectories in every versioned directory of your working copy. Subversion 1.7 offers a completely new approach to how working copy metadata is stored and maintained, and chief among the visible changes to this approach is that each working copy now has only one .svn subdirectory which is an immediate child of the root of that working copy.

Thanks!
