As Ryan already stated, just use a working copy. When doing so you
should make sure, that data from the hidden .svn folders can not be
accessed from outside.
Why? The .svn folders contain a local pristine copy of the files with
the file extension '.svn-base'. So if you, for example, are serving php
scripts, one might be able to download the source files, because the
webserver does not interpret them.

Nico
