I recently switched to using Git (eGit) from SVN… for my Eclipse Java project

as a consequence, I have many .svn folders in my source files directly

I want to delete these… but I don’t think it is as simple as just deleting them using the file system, is it?

I’m afraid if I do that I might screw something up.

Should I just delete the files using Finder? (I’m on a mac)

or is there some way I’m supposed to do it using eGit?

thanks

    It actually is as simple as deleting all .svn folders.

    If you are not using SVN any more you can just delete these files. If you delete the SVN folders notice that they have the attribute hidden (at least under Windows).
