To the best of my knowledge, you're stuck with them. Without the .svn folders, subversion will know nothing about the files. They store a complete copy of every file that is under version control, so they will at least double your size. This is what enables all the differential stuff - it is actually performed offline (unless you tell it to check the server). You can of course export from subversion to get just the source, but then you can't do anything "Subversiony" to the exported copy.
