<p>I have checked in a huge Eclipse project from my desktop computer to the SVN server.  I did it using the command line.  However, by mistake I committed all the compiled classes also in the server.</p>

<p>For every plug-in, there is a directory /bin/ that contains the compiled classes.</p>

<p>Is there a way to quickly delete in the server all directories that match this pattern using the command line?</p>

<p>Additionally, is there a way to tell svn to ignore bin directories by default?</p>

From
here
(for the 'additionally part'):
Click on Window -> Preferences
Select Team -> Ignored Resources
Click on Add Pattern and enter "bin"
Click on Apply and then OK
For the bin directories, do you have svn 1.5 ?
Because if you do,
```
'svn rm --keep-local'
```
allows to pull them from version control but
not
delete it from your machine.
You can do it with
Tortoise
(Delete (keep local))
