Which I guess, almost everyone? lol. On rails, i do that everytime on vendor/plugins Definitely useful, when some reason someone breaks his svn copy. Which I guess, almost everyone? lol.

A better solution is to use xargs, which has the advantage that your solution has over find . -type d -name '.svn' -exec rm -rf {} \; in that it doesn't spawn a rm for each directory, but also won't fail because the commandline is too large. xargs handles splitting the arguments from stdin to run the command an optimized number of times. So, with xargs it looks like: find . -type d -name '.svn' | xargs rm -rf On unix-like systems (including Macs), it is possible to have too many arguments for a command line — your

rm -rf `find . -type d -name ‘.svn’`

can fail as a result. A better solution is to use xargs, which has the advantage that your solution has over

find . -type d -name ‘.svn’ -exec rm -rf {} \;

in that it doesn’t spawn a rm for each directory, but also won’t fail because the commandline is too large. xargs handles splitting the arguments from stdin to run the command an optimized number of times.

So, with xargs it looks like:

find . -type d -name ‘.svn’ | xargs rm -rf

The described approach is fast and simple (in windows it's one click at all). Plus, sometimes you need a clean copy of your local version not that which is in the repository.

Yeah it’s “svn” not “git”. You have to be extremely careful when you commit your changes to the repository because it’s almost a one-way ticket…

Why would you do "svn co" and then remove .svn directories? Guys, there is “svn export”! Why would you do “svn co” and then remove .svn directories?
