Hi David,

  SVK does not keep administrative files (like SVN or CVS) in the
checked out working directories; consequently you should not see those
problems if you work with SVK.  Of course, that does not mean we
should not fix the real problem.

  http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AxiomSilverBranch

see the section on SVK.
