Accidentally deleting all the .svn folders
Posted on December 14, 2005
I did something really stupid today. I deleted all of the .svn folders in my project before committing my changes, and after building a major addition to it. I was trying to delete them from another folder, and used the wrong terminal window. :| Anyway, point being, I fixed it! Here is what I did:
> pwd
~/Development/project_name/
> cd ..
> svn co http://svn.domain.com/repo/trunk/ project_name_temp/
> cd project_name_temp
> find . -type d -name ".svn" -exec mv -f '{}' ../project_name/log/.'{}' \;
find: ./app/.svn: No such file or directory
find: ./app/apis/.svn: No such file or directory
(repeated.. this is normal)
> cd ..
> rm -R project_name_temp/
find . -type d -name ".svn" -exec mv -f '{}' ../project_name/log/.'{}' \;
