I think he's saying that he's got a large working copy, and he's trying
not to duplicate it on-disk. Unfortunately, the best way to do that is
just as Nik described, removing the .svn directories. I wonder if we
could beef up the export interface a little and allow 'svn export . .
--force' to do the right thing here.
