Delete svn folders and files

Delete svn folders and files

Answer:

After checkout from the svn repository using the svn checkout command , if you want to remove the svn related files/folders, use the following command under the working directory

find ./ -name ".svn" | xargs rm -rf

On the other hand, you should use svn export, instead of svn checkout if you don't want the svn related files/folders at the beginning.
