Notes on SVN

Matthew Young's picture

If you want to put something into SVN that was already in SVN but you never had access to the files and folders original repo and there are a slew of .svn directories scattered in the mess you'll experience a nightmare trying to put them into a new repo of your own. So just remove them, in OS X simply run:

sudo find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;

BTW... I do not recommend this at all...

Do an svn export... seriously. I was just seeing HOW one would go about deleting these files, not the smartest thing to do.

Or, hook yourself up more and use GIT!
