How to remove all “.svn” folders in Windows XP & Vista?
The application is really big with lots of features and all. But when I tried to copy the source code into beanstalk repository I came to see the “.svn” folders are already created in the application. Delete “.svn” folders in the project is a tedious process since I am using Windows Vista for development. If my operating system was Linux simple “rm” command with a regular expressionwill do. So I googled it for some help. I got really interesting tip to delete this folders. I would like to share it with you
The best thing they suggest is creating a registry file (filename.reg) and execute [create a text file named svndelete.reg and insert the code snippet below there after double click on the file that will add registry entry] the code snippet below. Once reg file is executed you will get a menu item called “Delete SVN Folders” in the context menu. Just right click on click on the “Delete SVN Folders” will delete all “.svn” folders in the directories recursively.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteSVN]
@=”Delete SVN Folders”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteSVN\command]
@=”cmd.exe /c \”TITLE Removing SVN Folders in %1 && COLOR 9A && FOR /r \”%1\” %%f IN (.svn) DO RD /s /q \”%%f\” \””
