SVN-CLEAN(1)                                User Commands                               SVN-CLEAN(1)

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.
