It's not a regression because this "feature" was never officially
documented or advertised. It just happened to work because of the way
the old working copy was designed.
That said, we knew people were doing this, and that shipping 1.7 without
a new 'svn detach' subcommand might impact some users who relied on this.
However, since the obvious workaround of getting a new checkout exists
development resources went into more important stuff.
So, sorry, you'll have to get a new checkout until 'svn detach' has been
implemented. See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2884
You can also keep using 1.6.x for the time being if detaching subdirectories
is very important to you. 1.6.x is still going to supported until 1.8.0
is released.
