Oh btw — the script in its current form can be dangerous. It will delete all files ending in “svn”. I happen to have non-svn files that end in svn! To make it safer, just add a dot after the *

for /f “tokens=* delims=” %%i in (’dir /s /b /a:d *.svn’) do (
rd /s /q “%%i”
)

Thanks very much, the .cmd shell script works on Windows Vista.

For others using this script – if you copy and paste the snippet of code, you need to replace the quotes and double quotes. Wordpress renders the quotes in a way that Windows cannot parse.

Thanks for this. Was wondering how to do it.
