Heya Jon,

Another way you can crack this nut is to use the export command:

Cheers,

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

SVN Export only exports files that are under SVN control. It will not export files set to ignore. This reg entry is a very cool way to clean up a copied SVN folder when you want to share the ignored files, too.

Thx for posting it.

Good idea, you may want to include _svn for ASP.Net developers. Not familar with cmd so not sure how you would add this myself though.

Subversion and TortoiseSVN tips and tricks

It doesn't work :(

Works perfect. Thanks!

It doesn't appear to work for me.

When I select a folder and right click -> DeleteSVN in the shell menu, it prompts me with the "Open With" dialog.

Thank you sooooo much. This little entry in the context menu is really handy!

Perhaps I should name 5 other people to modify this script when I'm done. First, it was Wyatt , then

quick and dirty update to delete .svn and _svn :D

Doesn't work for me.

For the poster asking for help with removal of _svn files, append this to the end of the line in your reg file:

<B>&& FOR /r \"%1\" %%f IN (.svn) DO RD /s /q \"%%f\" \""</B>

Remove _svn folders with a script?

Thats awesome! Takes 10 seconds to 'install', works right away and solved one of my biggest annoyances with SVN. Great!

Does exactly what it says on the tin, thanks muchly.

Thank you so much, it makes things so much easier when the working copy gets corrupt!

You rule, thanks

Thankssssssssssss, nice one :-)

Perhaps you don't need this after all. I just noticed this gem in the documentation, haven't tried it myself but I assume it works.

Removing a working copy from version control

Sometimes you have a working copy which you want to convert back to a normal folder without the .svn directories. What you really need is an export-in-place command, that just removes the control directories rather than generating a new clean directory tree.

The answer is surprisingly simple - export the folder to itself! TortoiseSVN detects this special case and asks if you want to make the working copy unversioned. If you answer yes the control directories will be removed and you will have a plain, unversioned directory tree.

#Krug

Your suggestion doesn't works for me, I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.4.8.

Using the Shell command is much easier, coz you just need one click to remove all the svn folder

Thanks you soo much!

Jon, can you remove or update that link to Wyatt Preul's post?  It goes to a 404 on a blog which I'm 99% sure has succumbed to a spammer.  If you skim the articles you'll see what I mean although it's not very obvious.

Thanks Jon this is really great.

I tried to modify the command so that it deletes all files except the svn ones.  The reason being I want to replace my project with the latest (unversioned) files, and want SVN to detect the changes.  If I simply overwrite the directory then deleted files (ie those existing in the old version but gone in the new) will go unnoticed.

Unfortunately my Windows Command skills are not up to snuff.  Can anyone help me?

This is just what I was looking for, tried it and it works a treat. Definitely a keeper.

Another way is go to ur project folder then use F3 key for search then go to advance option.. search folder and subfolders for folder named: .svn

Hi,

Getting an error for SVN Service how to resolve this

:  Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Worked great, needed to copy around 4 gigs of SVN downloads and they would never even start, once I cleared all the folders it only took a couple minutes :)

Very handy, thanks. Doing a *.svn search in Windows 7 and deleting was taking far too long (and it uses hidden/readonly for the folders too)

Thanks for that, saved my life now.

You saved my life on windows. However on Linux it is even simplier:D

find -type d -name '.svn'
