Remove all subversion directories
Sometimes you want to remove a directory structure from subversion control. Simple remove all .svn folders. You can also use the following Ant target to do that. Important note is that you need to set defaultexcludes to false since .svn is one of the default excludes for Ant.
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - target: remove-svn - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --> <target name="remove-svn"> <delete includeemptydirs="true"> <fileset dir="${basedir}" defaultexcludes="false"> <include name="**/.svn/**"/> </fileset> </delete> </target>
