I have searched my local trunk and found 52 Thumbs.db.
As there is only ever One Thumbs.db per directory, that is
52 locations where I need to delete them.
This is fine in Windows, I just delete them all in one go.
But how do I delete them all in one from SVN?
svn del -R Thumbs.db does not work, as there is not recursive
command for svn delete, how stupid is that!
Anyway, any ideas on the best way to do this, I am also sure that
not all 52 will be under version control anyway. In fact none should
be because I never explicitly added them, but anyway.
I know you are on windows, but you still need a decent command line.
Donwload and install cygwin to get a bash shell then (the default config
will give you everything you need to start with):
cd c:
cd $FORREST_HOME
find . -name "*.db" -exec svn del {} \;
Be very very careful, it's best to do
find . -name "*.db"
first to make sure the list is what you want it to be.
If you want to know what it does then do
man find
