Cleanup/delete all .svn folders

I recently needed to recursively delete all of the .svn folders in a directory because I was copying them into an existing working copy (and who knows what would happen if you mixed in .svn folders from a different branch?). The google helped me find this cmd.exe one-liner, and I’m simply reposting it here for reference:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S *.svn*') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%G"

This is assuming you’re sitting at the root folder where you want to recurse from.
