Recursively Delete .svn Directories

Version control systems are hugely important when it comes to development of all kinds.  I'm a huge fan of git but sometimes I'm required to use SVN.  Unfortunately I tend to forget to remove .svn folders when I copy and paste from a directory structure template.  This, of course, leads to me overwriting files and results in mass confusion.

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

The script starts within the current directory, so be sure you navigate to the directory you want to start searching from first. This script would work on any search type; simply replace ".svn" with the search of your choosing but be careful:  if your search term is too general, you may end up deleting a bunch of stuff you don't want to!
