> This secret way is not so secret at all. You can move and copy around any working copy to your delight. Even more, every versioned folder inside a working copy was (for SVN < 1.7)itself a working copy that you could copy and move around.

There are 2 caveats:
- For moving and copying the whole working copy, you better make sure that no other process is accessing the working copy concurrently.

- In 1.6, there are some cases where moving or copying subfolders without using the SVN commands did break things. It was never officially supported, it only worked by chance in some cases.
