Removing .svn folders from project for deployment

Question

I'm using subversion (TortoiseSVN) and I want to remove the .svn folders from my project for deployment, is there an automated way of doing this using subversion or do I have to create a custom script for this?

Answer 1

Use

svn export <url-to-repo> <dest-path>

It gets just the source, nothing else. Look in svn export (in Version Control with Subversion) for more information.

Answer 2

TortoiseSVN has an export function. This will create the entire SVN tree elsewhere without the .svn folders.

Also, a lot of FTP clients have filtering, which you can add .svn to just in case you forget one day.
