Hi,
I had this same problem and used this instead:
find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
The only difference being that the xargs method doesn’t quote the filename, so whitespace messes things up. Only a problem if you’re one of those people that puts spaces in filenames
Oh, and I needed sudo to remove locks on all the svn files too, but that might have been more of a problem on my end.
