Subversion: Get rid of the .svn version directory.

I don’t know exactly how this happened, but I have a version of ".svn" in my repository. Do not ask me how this happened. If I tell svn to remove it, it does not want, since .svn is a reserved argument.

Strength does not work.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Ok, I solved it svn rmin the parent directory and adding it back.

However, if someone knows a pure solution to this, he will be highly appreciated.

UPDATE:

svn delete <repo url>/foo/.svn

Does not work. I seem to have tried every combination of commands and arguments. I’m sure that if it’s doable, it’s a hack. I know the method: dump -> change the dump using the tool -> reimport but it is as scary as hell. This is not git, if you delete the svn repository, you / it remains hacked.
