I believe Maven intentially does an svn working dopy, not a copy from an
SVN revision.  If you look closely at the output from a prepare, you
will see a line something like this:

[INFO] Executing: svn --non-interactive copy --file
D:\yourtempdir\maven-scm-791753447.commit .
https://yoursvnserver/project/tags/project-1.0.0

Notice that it copies from "." (BTW. There seems to be a bug with SVN
working copies. You can read about that here [1]).

Doing a copy from your working directory, however, is important. If you
did a copy from an SVN revision you could potentially release something
you didn't intend if someone commits to that revision after the you
checked out your working copy from that revion, but before you performed
the release.
