## NAME
       svn-clean - Wipes out unversioned files from Subversion working copy

## SYNOPSIS
       svn-clean [options] [directory or file ...]

## DESCRIPTION
       **svn-clean** will scan the given files and directories recursively and find unversioned files
       and directories (files and directories that are not present in the Subversion repository).
       After the scan is done, these files and directories will be deleted.

       If no file or directory is given, **svn-clean** defaults to the current directory (".").

       **svn-clean** uses the SVN Perl modules if they are available. This is much faster than parsing
       the output of the **svn** command-line client.

## OPTIONS
### -e --exclude
               A regular expression for filenames to be exluded. For example, the following command
               will skip files ending in ".zip":

                       svn-clean --exclude '\.zip$'

               Multiple exclude patterns can be specified. If at least one matches, then the file is
               skipped. For example, the following command will skip files ending in ".jpg" or
               ".png":

                       svn-clean --exclude '\.jpg$' --exclude '\.png$'

               The following command will skip the entire "build" subdirectory:

                       svn-clean --exclude '^build(/|$)'

### -f --force
               Files to which you do not have delete access (if running under VMS) or write access
               (if running under another OS) will not be deleted unless you use this option.

### -N --non-recursive
               Do not search recursively for unversioned files and directories. Unversioned
               directories will still be deleted along with all their contents.

### -q --quiet
               Do not print progress info. In particular, do not print a message each time a file is
               examined, giving the name of the file, and indicating whether "rmdir" or "unlink" is
               used to remove it, or that it's skipped.

### -p --print
               Do not delete anything. Instead, print the name of every file and directory that
               would have been deleted.

       **-?**, **-h**, **--help**
               Prints a brief help message and exits.

       **--man**   Prints the manual page and exits.
