SVN Delete with wildcard?


I'm migrating a VSS repository to SVN and inadvertently included all of the _vti_cnf, *.scc files in the first check-in. I'd like to remove these from SVN. (Not permanently, of course - just in the HEAD). The application in question is quite large, and finding and deleting these files on a folder-by-folder basis will take forever.

Suggestions? There must be some obvious way to do this, but the proximity of the weekend is interfering with my higher brain functions.


Solution

  • Jonas' answer should woirk fine. Maybe you are getting conflicts because you're deleting them on file system level, bypassing Subversion's control?

    If you can use TortoiseSVN, the following works for me (=I get the necessary commands in the context menu):

    Done!

    Usual disclaimer when giving version control advice, be careful, have backups, I'm not taking any responsibility etc. etc.
