Good point, it looks like there was a good reason to use the non-0 form!

That won't do it; cpio will only copy the .svn dir
and not their contents.

So just use the non-0 form; .svn dirs don't have funky
chars in the names anyway.

You might be able to improve the grep to prevent matching
say, .svnblahblah

        grep '/\.svn[/$]'

ensures the .svn is followed by end of line or slash.

There's also rsync with it's --include option, but where
do you stop? I didn't want to require rsync, even though
it's almost everywhere.
