Thanks for posting what worked for your situation. I never use names with spaces in them inside of projects, so I never tested it with them. Thanks for posting what worked for your situation.

It runs the rm command once for each result of find. If you had 1000 matches, it would take a very long time for it to finish. With xargs the whole list is passed in, and rm is run once with multiple options. Both work, and have their place, but for removing .svn folders, blowing through them all quickly is better for me.

find . -name “.svn” -type d -exec rm -fr {} ;
which is the same without the need of xargs :-)
