copy svn working dir without svn hidden dirs and files

Use one of the following commands:

• 
svn export PATH1 PATH2

• 
rsync -r --exclude=.svn /home/user/progname/ /home/user/progname.copy

• 
tar --exclude='.svn' -c -f - /path/to/sourcedir/* | (cd /path/to/destdir ; tar xfp -)

• just copy the entire directory and then delete the Subversion stuff
find /path/to/destdir -name '.svn' -exec rm -r {} \;


I found this info here.
