Dude - set your IDE up properly. Add .svn to the set of directories to
ignore. IntelliJ comes with "CVS;SCCS;RCS;rcs;.dependency-info" as a
standard "ignore" configuration, simply add .svn to that set. I assume
Eclipse supports that kind of thing. The .svn directories are hidden, so
Windows won't show them in explorer, unless you've switched on viewing
hidden files (which is totally up to you).
