Here is a strategy that might work, though I've not tried it:

- Delete all the .svn directories from your working copy A, so that it
becomes an export tree rather than a working copy.

- Create fresh working copy B of the code.

- Run svn_load_dirs.pl, giving it WC A as the "source" tree and WC B as the
working copy. It should perform the correct operations on WC B to make it
look like WC A.

I suspect that this is not completely correct, as it will not merge
correctly with changes that have been made since WC A was last updated. But
svn_load_dirs.pl is supposed to be smart enough to handle multiple copies
and renames of directories in the source tree. So it may be a place to
start.
