I'm not 100% sure, but I think 'rsync --delete -avC source dest' would
copy the existing checked-out working copy that you want to become the
new HEAD on top of a tree checked out from your restored backup. The
'-C' option is shorthand for a bunch of excludes that should keep it
from copying over the metadata under .svn directories along with things
that are typically build results.
