"identical"? Hardly. Technically the .svn directories are the /only/
things required of the working copies. Any missing files can be restored
from the text-base using the "revert" command, any differing files will
be detected in the normal way. There really is no downside that I can
think of. Copying the .svn directories should be perfectly, 100% safe.
I'd love to know your reasoning for thinking there would be any problem,
though.
