Recursivly delete .svn from your directories
Posted on July 28th, 2009 No commentsA pretty simple tip that can save you a lot of time if you use revision control systems.This command can be used to remove the .svn folder that is used and placed within every folder to control your versioned files.
rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`
Simply run this command on the command line in the top level of the directory you want to remove the folders from. This will go down through all the folders in the directory and delete all the .svn folders.
Note: This will only work on Unix based systems or with Cygwin
