No, if you try to add Elf, at least with TSVN, the .svn directories are
read and the tool assumes it's already in the repository.
What if you created a new method of copying? Do you think that'd work?
For instance, what about creating an item in the Send To menu for
copying files. It would simply be a batch file of some sort to copy the
selected files/directories to a new location without the .svn
directories. Either that or something to strip out the .svn directories
after the copy. Would that work? I don't think that'd be too much work
to accomplish.
Honestly, the autoversioning stuff sounds like one of the best
solutions. I've never seen/heard of it before; but it's something I'd
like to look into, now.

I wasn't asking how to checkout a repository to a different

(a) You have http://host/repo/trunk/Characters checked out to
Chars
Chars/Ogre
Chars/Ogre/Textures
(b) You copy-paste (via the OS) Chars/Ogre to Chars/Elf
Chars/Ogre
Chars/Ogre/Textures
Chars/Elf <-- points to Characters/Ogre
Chars/Elf/Textures <-- points to Characters/Ogre/Textures
The problem I mentioned was that I don't like the fact that,
because the
.svn directories are copied too, Svn doesn't recognize a problem
with
the previous structure. Chars/Ogre and Chars/Elf will both be
synced
with Characters/Ogre. This is the problem. He's asking for a way
to not
copy the .svn directories so Svn recognizes them as new
files/directories. My suggestion was to remove .svn dirs after
the
copy-paste or use the export command.
What if step three is
(c) svn add Elf
Should that wipe out an svn folders under Elf (possibly with --force)?
I think that is a reasonable behavior, even if possibly less effecient
than the svn copy. Or if the svn folders come from the same repos
should they do an svn copy under the covers?
