Cool Freeware : SVN Cleaner Tool for Windows XP/Vista

If you are an open source developer at times, you may want a simple tool that can wipe off those .svn folder from the source. I normally do that, if the svn repository is too screwed up and clean up function isn’t all that perfect. I will normally checkout all the source file. Perform a .svn clean up, delete the svn repo folder and start all over (checking in again). However, apparently there’s lack of a tool in windows which is to do this easily other than going through command console thingy.

Fortunately, I found a good solution for this. A mini tool which sticks to your Windows shell’s context menu. All you need to do is to select your svn source folder and right click. Walla then, just select Remove all .svn

This free mini tool known as SVN Cleaner can be found here. Last but not least, if it get posted here – it simply means IS GOOD STUFF!
