I am quite new to subversion and did not even know there is a hidden svn folder there ;-)</p> <p>It helped a lot.<br /> Thanks</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-06-05:/id/7//comment_151 2008-06-05T08:07:50-04:00 2008-06-05T08:07:50-04:00 Lisbeth http:// <p>Lovely – even better than what I was looking for! (And as far as I can tell, it has only deleted what it should).</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-02-21:/id/7//comment_15 2008-02-21T19:51:52-04:00 2008-02-21T19:51:52-04:00 Rob Wilkerson http://robwilkerson.org <p>Yeah, I agree – the key is predictability. Deleting anything is scary if that component is lost. :-)</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-02-21:/id/7//comment_13 2008-02-21T19:46:57-04:00 2008-02-21T19:46:57-04:00 GrahamW http:// <p>I personally don’t think much of search-in-file capability, but have had years of faithful service from the search-by-filename functionality, and often use it for exactly this kind of purpose with no trouble. What I really like is the ability to see the list of files before deleting, (like by date) and sort them in various ways to be really sure there’s nothing there I should keep. Regardless, your technique is cool too, if this is a very predictable scenario with no doubt about the outcome.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-02-20:/id/7//comment_12 2008-02-20T17:23:16-04:00 2008-02-20T17:23:16-04:00 Rob Wilkerson http://robwilkerson.org <p>True. Maybe it’s the geek in me, but that solution just felt clunky and uninspired. This direction seems infinitely more elegant…doesn’t it? :-D The truth is, I’ve never felt very comfortable with Windows search functionality, so it may just be a trust issue.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-02-20:/id/7//comment_10 2008-02-20T17:16:43-04:00 2008-02-20T17:16:43-04:00 GrahamW http://NoURL <p>Perhaps you thought of this already — but how about just use Windows Explorer search function (right-click on a folder) to search for *.svn. That’ll give you a list, and it’s recursive, and it can be filtered for date. You can then select all or some from the list, and delete. </p>
