Alex – is this recursive?

Curious, why would you want to remove the .svn folders? Aren’t they used to keep your copy of the code synchronized? (Sorry, I am new to subversion).
If anyone still ends up here in search of a solution you can just you this command in the terminal:
find . -name “.svn” -exec rm -rf {} \;
Especially since this app only works in “classic”.
New version should work fine with OS X 10.5.x. Thanks Adam.

I still see the usefulness of this, but as a sidenote if you have access to the SVN repo and are doing a checkout, you can instead to an “svn export” to checkout the project without all of the .svn folders, or any svn functionality at all for the matter.
