Many of us sometime or the other need to delete all .svn folders from our app . So why make it difficult to actually tree down each folder and manually delete when you can use command line to do it .
We use find command to find all .svn folders beginning from current directory.
$ find . -type d -name .svn ./.svn ./sourceA/.svn ./sourceB/.svn ./sourceB/module/.svn ./sourceC/.svn
It is possible to pass these directories directly to rm command, using grave accent quotes (key to left of ‘1′)
$ rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`
So, this will remove every .svn folder beginning from current directory.
