Deleting .svn directories example doesn't work
I'm trying to use the "deleting subversion directories" example from
the manual:
<delete includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset dir="${DIR}" includes="**/.svn" defaultexcludes="false"/>
</delete>
and it does nothing. How can this be made to work? I'm using ant
1.7.0.

This is not relevant.

Paul-
you need to flip the read-only attrib off of .svn and flip the read-only attrib off the folder

This does not work either. As I stated previous in a follow-up to
myself, what's needed is the trailing slash, e.g. "**/.svn/".

Because I don't want them (why else?).

I'm aware of how svn works.

There are built products in the set of files I'm copying. svn export
does not copy files that are not under source control.

The <fileset> resource collection is for files and not directories.
True, the <delete> task can also remove empty directories once all the
files are deleted, but the <fileset> resource collection really is
just for files.
What you want to do is remove directories. Therefore, you want the
<dirset> resource collection.
<delete>
<dirset dir="${DIR}"
defaultexcludes="false">
<include name="**/.svn"/>
</dirset>
</delete>
You also need to include the defaultexcludes="false" parameter.
By the way, why do you want to remove .svn directories? If this is a
working directory, you'll destroy its usability. If you simply want
the files, you should use "svn export" which does the samething as an
"svn co", but doesn't put in all those .svn directories. That's a lot
quicker than checking out a working directory, and then you don't
waste time removing the .svn directories.

It turns out the ant manual is wrong. The includes needs to be:
includes="**/.svn/"
Note the trailing slash.
