Remove ".svn" folders from revision history

[Craig Kennedy]

I need to remove some .svn folders that got accidentally checked in to our repository. I have seen some examples of doing this on the in-house Subversion production with an svndump with a filter and reimporting that filtered database back. How would I do that with the hosted subversion server with Atlassian OnDemand?

To do this, you can create a copy of your hosted Subversion using svnsync, and then process this local copy as you wish. Then, create a dump of it and import back to OnDemand by following these instructions. This might take a while to complete, so you might want to schedule a maintenance window with your users.
