Just make sure there’s no real content called “lock” ;)

I understand where you’re coming from and if you use subversion correctly there should never be a need to remove the hidden svn files. However, from time to time, I do find that it’s necessary – generally when someone has mistakenly duplicated directories using the Finder in OSX.

I’m puzzled that you would want to treat an svn working tree this way, unless you specifically want a checked-out copy of the repository without the .svn folders. That’s what ‘svn export’ is for.

Hardwarerocks – Thanks for the info, the man page for find on my install (OS X Tiger) doesn’t mention that -d is deprectated. However I’ve changed the post accordingly.
