How do you copy folders from windows to unix, but maintan the link to the repository?

Folks,

When I copy an svn working folder from one location on my disk to
another, the link to the repository is also copied to the new location,
meaning I can use svn commands from the command line here as well.

However, when I copy the same folder from my windows box to an area on a
unix / linux machine, the link to the repository is not copied,
therefore I cannot run svn commands from unix / linux.

Is there some setting I can change to enable this?

My purpose is to do one checkout to windows and lock windows specific
files, then copy the directory to unix and lock unix specific files,
then copy the directory to linux and lock linux specific files.

Regards,

Dan.

Please explain why copying to Unix, then Linix is necessary to "lock" specific 
files?

Are you copying the hidden .svn directories contained in the working copy?
