title: Tortoise SVN hidden _svn folders
body: <p>They are specially annoying when I need to upload to the server a web solution.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of configuring SVN to create the _svn folders outside my working directory?
  If not, what is the best way to deal with them when you need to copy only the code?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> Using "svn export" command is problematic because there are files that are not under source control but necessary like .dll's, xml data files or database files and they will not be exported. Therefore it would be required to manually copy them in there different subdirectories from the working copy each time.</p>
