Situation For whatever reasons, you want to move a directory from one svn repository to another.

Problem Once in a repository, every folder gets an invisible .svn folder, where the svn info instored. Deleting them by hand can be tedious. A script might be cumbersome.

Solution Use svn to export the folder. Exporting basically means getting rid of the .svn/ folders. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/re10.html
