Restore repository from working copy

G'day all,

I have suffered a catastrophic failure of the old (2001) freebsd box
on which my PhD thesis repository was served from.

Although I am obviously an idiot for not adequately backing up the
repository, the reality was it was for my own benefit, and more of a
convenient backup system, especially when travelling, so I'm happy to
live with the loss of the versioning history.

But now I have set up a new (only 3 year old) box, with a shiny new
hard drive and UPS, and want to populate it again from my working copy.

However the working copy is full of .svn directories etc, and I was
wondering if there is any way to import it without causing confusion.

As it is (now) the only copy, I am reluctant to do a rm -r sweep
through it to try to remove all the .svn directories, in case I
accidently get everything.

Is there any alternatives for importing checked out copy. I have been
through the book and the faq's, and looking the archive with little
success, but I'm not sure that I haven't missed a key word.

Any help would be really appreciated.

cheers

Ben
