$cd ./-folder

from the xargs man:

delete all .svn folder

$find /somedir -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -rf

xargs comes in handy when handling great amounts of files.

"\e[5~": history-search-backward
"\e[6~": history-search-forward

Sample script for a conditional post-commit hook in bash. This post-commit hook updates a local copy (www directory) to the latest revision when files are changed within a certain directory.

#!/bin/bash
umask 0002

REPOS=$1
REV=$2
MATCH=`/usr/bin/svnlook -r $REV dirs-changed $REPOS | /bin/grep -c "just a string"`

if [ $MATCH -gt 0 ];then
/usr/bin/svn update /var/www/projects/mysite
