Some notes about SVN

General stuff

recursive deletion of .svn directories

find ./ -type d -name ".svn" -exec rm -Rf {} \;

find ./ -type d -name ".svn" recursively finds directories named ".svn". Adding -exec rm -Rf {} \; deletes the search results.

Miscellaneous

Automatically check out external packages while checking out another package

Use the svn:externals property: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html

svn propedit svn:externals LocalPackageName

This will open your text editor where you should put something like that:

SubDirToCheckOutTo   svn+ssh://svn.cern.ch/reps/...PathToExternalPackage.../trunk

To check the properties do:

svn propget svn:externals LocalPackageName

Then do

svn update

Whenever you check out the local package, you will from then on also check out the external package.
