How to remove Subversion integration from project

Hello,

what is the best way of removing subversion integration from my project?

I am forced to commit my project into a new repository so I want to have my project clean (no .svn directories, no svn at all). I really don't want to delete all of the .svn directories "manually".

Thank you.

You can use "svn export" to get a clean copy (either from your old repository or directly from your working copy).
But honestly most often I do just delete files manually by simply searching all ".svn" in windows explorer from the project root, then deleting all results.
Then of course, you have to do ant/mvn clean to get rid of any build artifacts. (You do use ant or maven, dont' you?)

If you are on Linux, one command will do it for you:
find . -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
