Re: How to get rid of .svn directories from working copy?

the .svn folder is subversions working copy administrative area - dont mess
with it unless you know what you are doing

the svn client needs that to operate. there are alternatives though, like
steve mentioned, svk stores its metadata other places and theres a way to
use apache and dav to set up a dav share that does an autocommitt on every
PUT
