Removing .svn Folders Recursively

While porting projects to Git, I needed a way to remove all of the .svn folders in each project. I don’t need the archived svn data in this case so it is safe to simply remove all folders labeled: ‘.svn’.
Use Find to locate the svn folders
find . -name ‘.svn’
Append the argument rm -R to remove them
find . -name ‘.svn’ | xargs rm -R
