Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to imply that the .svn directories themselves were the working copies; rather that working copy directories contain .svn directories, which are used by Subversion and it's administrative functions.

Sounds like we're getting on the same page about needing IFS directories, which are part of the synchronization process. I've just begun calling the IFS directories, "working copies".

The .svn directories contain hidden subversion information, they do not
contain the working copies. Well, not technically. If you look in there,
the sources are stored twice on checkout. Once in the .svn directories,
and once in your working copy. Don't change what is in .svn if you don't
want to mess things up. SVN uses these copies to do comparisons to
determine if something has changed. We would need these in the IFS, but
may not need to store the working copies there if they are source files.
Binary documents would have to be stored in the IFS.
