Remove my project from SVN source control

[smithms]

I have inherited a project from someone that was using subversion source control. How do I permanently remove the project from source control?

I've tried removing the repository in Organizer but it just gets re-created each time I launch Xcode 4.2.

Thanks in advance.

You need to delete all the hidden .svn folders from the project. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll email you a program I wrote that does exactly that. It involves doing a recursive walk of the project's directory structure, since every folder, sub-folder, and sub-sub-folder contains a .svn folder. I have seen complex projects that have almost 100 .svn folders in them. Finding and deleting them manually would be very tedious and error-prone.

A Unix script person could probably write a perl script to do the same thing. I'm not very good at Perl however, so I wrote a Mac program to do the same thing.

Duncan,

Thanks again for the script. It cleaned up my project perfectly. I thanked you awhile back via private message but just wanted to thank you publicly.

it's a one line command in a Terminal window:

cd to the top level project directory

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

job done.

Care to explain the indecipherable bit of command line magic to those of us who are not bash experts?
