Re: Export then import

You can make a copy of a local working folder but you need to manually get
rid of all the .svn folders before you try to import/add it into SVN.

Otherwise you'll get loads of problems.

But, as already stated, if the local working folder doesn't have uncomitted
changes in it, just make a copy inside the SVN repository first, then
checkout the copy to a new working folder and you're good to go.
