I recently upgraded my tortoise to version 1.7. It's been a while now I cannot see the .svn folders. I used to copy folders to replicate some code, enter the folder and delete the .svn of the copied version so that it considers the code as new. I cannot do this anymore :(

Anyone knows what is going on?

Subversion 1.7 switched to a single-folder structure, like many DVCSes (git, bazaar, etc.) - the only .svn folder is in the root folder now, and this contains all of the info for the checkout.

You should now be able to simply copy the folder and check it in.
