Or another approach:

find . -name .svn | xargs rm -rf

I would strongly suggest adding a '-type d' in there, just to be on the 
safe side of things.

And I'm pretty sure "not really" should have a good look at tools 
designed to help integrate SVN into Eclipse, e.g. Subclipse.

Thanks to all.  I did find the find... script.  That is how we finally 
cleaned things up.

I have heard of Subclipse, but as you can tell, haven't used it yet.  That 
might be next weeks chore.

Thanks,

This is a fundamentally wrong approach. Let the source control
system keep track of metadata. Do not manually add, destroy
or change them. This is the kind of stuff that may change without
notice! (And rightly so.)

If you export files, the result should be like if you typed
in the files afresh. They should go into a vcs smoothly,
and by definition cannot be different from as if you typed
the files afresh. If exporting doesn't work this way, you
should consider switching to a decent vcs.

If you're using Eclipse and Subversion, you need to be using
Subclipse. I have considerable experience with this combination with
non-trivial repositories and distributed teams, and it works very
smoothly (even in 3.2).
