Answer 2

You can do a thing called an SVN Export to get the files without the .svn directories

Answer 3

You could take a look at SVK, which is a layer on top of Subversion. One of the advantages is that the repository metadata for your working copy, which is normally stored in the .svn dirs, is instead kept in a single central location, so you don't have the ugly hidden .svn dir problem. It's pretty nice.

If wanna do this with ruby just paste my script at the root folder you want to remove recursively: http://fabianosoriani.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/ruby-script-to-remove-svn-folders/

Answer 5

svn export is what you want. It will give you a clean copy of the code tree without the .svn directories (note that this copy is not under version control and svn commands won't work on it once it's exported).

I utilize this method to launch code on production servers. Our build script takes an export of the code branch, tars and gzips it, uploads it to the correct server, and unzips/untars it.

Answer 6

find . -name '.svn' -depth -exec rm -rf '{}' \; -ls
