Remove .svn folders recursively
I know that you have to use svn export in order to get a copy of the repo without the .svn folders inside, but sometimes you have to work with what you have, a checkout of a repo with .svn folders. And you want them removed.
After googling a bit i found a great way to recursively remove .svn folders. Just type the following while in the root of your checkout:
rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`

SVN Ignore all files inside a folder
If you want to ignore certain file types inside a folder on SVN it's pretty easy:
svn propset svn:ignore "*.tgz" backup
It's a bit more complicated if you want to ignore everything inside a folder (be it files or folders). If you have a structure as the following:
/public/media /public/media/member /public/media/member/artist /public/media/member/fan /public/media/member/label
and you want to ignore everything inside public/media, just do:
svn propset svn:ignore "*" public/media/
