<p>I'm using subversion (TortoiseSVN) and I want to remove the .svn folders from my project for deployment, is there an automated way of doing this using subversion or do I have to create a custom script for this?</p>

Use
```
```
svn export <url-to-repo> <dest-path>
```
```
It gets just the source, nothing else. Look in
svn export
(in
Version Control with Subversion
) for more information.
