Working copy vs exported files

Does anyone else have a use for a feature that allows you to convert a
working copy to a non-versioned version of the same files?

This is subtly different from an export of the repo, there may be
files (or even changes) in this set of files that I don't want to
commit.

I also don't want to force the network traffic of a re-export... I
already have the files, exactly where I want them, I just want to get
rid of the .svn folders.

I suppose the other part of this question is, is there a way to do
this that I've missed?

Richard.

1. You can export your working copy.

svn export /path/to/existing-working-copy /path/to/new-export


2. You can convert your working copy into an export by just deleting  
all the .svn directories with something like this (on non-Windows OSes):

find /path/to/working-copy -name .svn -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

Now /path/to/working-copy isn't a working copy anymore.

You cannot get the revision of the export. You can from a working copy
What I do is to use the SubWCRev.exe command.
This command replace all tags it finds in a file.

Tags like
$WCREV$
$WCDATE$
$WCNOW$
$WCRANGE$
$WCURL$

I just now did a "svn help export", and it appears that there is a version 
of svn export that exports from your working copy, preserving local changes. 
However, it doesn't copy non-versioned files, according to the help.
