Getting rid of .svn folders
I often copy several OSS projects that I have checked out from their public Subversion repository, back at home so that I have the "bleeding edge" source when working. I find it a hassle to have to include all the .svn files.
John Galloway presented a
hack which even includes the command in the Context menu, however
MattyT suggested a
better way and that is to use svn export or even better TortoiseSvn->Export context menu, which copies all the files except the .svn folders. I didn't know this, I always thought when I use the export command(either with TortoiseSvn/Svn) that it has to connect to repository then exports everything from there.
Another case of having the answer in front of you, if you just look a little more closer
