Hi all,
Yesterday I got a code for study that was actually maintained inside Subversion. The code I get was not a exported copy of subversion, because of this I get a deep hierarchy of code included ".svn" folder in each folder. Now before start working with the code in eclipse it was mandatory for me to remove the .svn folders.
Below I am providing solution for both OS (windows/Linux) to remove these recursive ".svn" folders. Hope you will find helpful.
Do post your comments 🙂
Solution under Windows:
Right click on the folder and click Search..
Enter .svn as the filename to search for.
Click “More advanced options” and select:
– Search hidden files and folders
– Search subfolders
Press search button and delete the folders you find appropriate.
Solution under Linux/Unix:
find ./ -name ".svn" | xargs rm -Rf
or
find . -type d -name ‘.svn’ -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rdf
