svn updating checkout with new files before commit results to errors

I have checkout my project to a folder so i can commit changes to it and then update them on the web server via 

svn up

command

now when i want to move folderA from my local web server to checkout folder and commit changes i get the following error:

Commit failed (details follow): Directory '[directory]folderA/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing

know i get this error because .svn file is missing after pasting new files so how can i solve it except adding updated files one by one?

I think on UNIX simple cp -R fromdir/folderA/* todir/folderA will do the trick.

On Windows you can use a tool such as Total Commander that will allow you to 'deep copy' directory trees without overwriting your .svn .
