Question

Does anybody know a way to recursively remove all files in a working copy that are not under version control? (I need this to get more reliable results in my automatic build VMware.)

Answer 1

Edit:

Subversion 1.9.0 introduced an option to do this:

svn cleanup --remove-unversioned 

Before that, I use this python script to do that:

import os import re  def removeall(path):     if not os.path.isdir(path):         os.remove(path)         return     files=os.listdir(path)     for x in files:         fullpath=os.path.join(path, x)         if os.path.isfile(fullpath):             os.remove(fullpath)         elif os.path.isdir(fullpath):             removeall(fullpath)     os.rmdir(path)  unversionedRex = re.compile('^ ?[\?ID] *[1-9 ]*[a-zA-Z]* +(.*)') for l in  os.popen('svn status --no-ignore -v').readlines():     match = unversionedRex.match(l)     if match: removeall(match.group(1)) 

It seems to do the job pretty well.
