If a project under source control is copied to a different folder, is the source control retained?

Question

I have set up my project to use SVN with Xcode for version control. Now if I copy my project and paste it in a different directory, will the new project also be under source control by default?

Answer 1

It will technically be another "working copy" of your project. If you open your project directory in Terminal, you will be able to see the hidden .svn directory with ls -al. When you copy the project folder, those hidden .svn directories will be copied as well. If you want to a copy of your project without all of the svn files, you'll want to perform an svn export.

Answer 2

I should work, but beware; once you start constructing ad-hoc hierarchies with chunks from different source areas, you can become very confused.
