So, you need to take a copy of a subversion working copy, but it has local changes that you also need to copy.  This precludes the use of `svn export` since the local changes won’t be included.  One option is to do an `svn export` anyway, and then `cp -ra` the local changes.  Another solution is to use a find command that excludes subversion metadata, and then copy the resulting files:

`find . -path ‘*/.svn’ -prune -o -type f -print`

I did something similar some time ago, but forgot the command, so here it is for posterity.
