Is there a reason you want to bypass svn copy and lose history?

svn copy http://svn.server.com/repo/path/to/website1.0
http://svn.server.com/repo/path/to/website2.0 -m "Used website1.0 as
start for website2.0"

in TSVN, you can right-click drag-and-drop (and choose 'SVN Copy and
rename versioned file here.'), or use the repo browser.

If you _really_ want to get a copy of website1.0 without the .svn
directory, you can use svn export. However, you'll lose all history,
properties, and duplicate storage.

In TSVN you can right-click drag and drop and choose export. You'll
probably have to export to a different directory (than the source for
website1.0), so you can rename it, then drag it back in. However, the
'SVN Copy' is probably what you really want.
