No. Subversion policy is that you are not to touch the .svn folders  
or their contents. If you do, the working copy will most likely  
break, as you've seen.

RE: Working copy locked problem

Posted by James Oltmans <jo...@bolosystems.com>.
That's a great ideal, but it's not always the easiest solution. In the
case I mentioned before where we dump out a directory tree and files to
represent the configuration of the system, we've decided we're going to
have to dump to a temporary location that people can't commit from then
write a copy program to handle it in order not to wipe out the .svn
folders and properly mark folders for addition and deletion.
