How to remove SVN from a folder [duplicate]

Answer 1

The command svn export does this.

Answer 2

I like to use deletesvn.reg. It adds a "Delete SVN Folders" to your context-menu in Explorer. Selecting it recursively deletes .svn folders, thus disconnecting your folders from SVN. The problem I've had with SVN Export, as others mentioned, is that it only exports files that are in the repo, ignoring all those hidden files you might need.

Answer 3

On unix systems over the shell:

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

On Windows:

• Execute a search on the folder for ".svn", select all and delete them

Answer 4

No, you just have to search for all .svn folders and delete them. Alternatively, doing a svn export allows you to get the folder without the svn folders.

Answer 5

When using TortoiseSVN, right-mouse drag a folder that is under version control to a destination, and select "SVN Export all items here" from the context menu.

This will create a folder with your working folder, without the .svn files.
