remove "empty" directories

[christian unger <ch...@mac.com>]

Hi,

I would llike to remove a bunch of empty dirs from a WorkingCopy,

I could use
find .  -empty delete
If there weren't these .svn directories which make the dirs non-empty.

any good ideas anyone?

If they contain .svn directories, then Subversion knows about them,  
and simply deleting them will make Subversion unhappy. So instead you  
should probably "svn rm" them.

I guess the problem is you're trying to automatically identify these  
"empty" directories, except that tools looking for empty directories  
will see the .svn directories and think they are not empty?

I think it's probably time to write a little script to find and  
eradicate these directories. Not sure if there's a way to coerce  
"find" to handle it for you.
