recursive svn cleanup!

Did you ever experienced a couple of random directories in your working copy getting locked by svn for no particular reason? And your favorite SVN interface told you 'Directory xxx is locked use svn cleanup'? or for some other reason do you need to run a recursive clean up command?

anywho...
It happened to me more than enough to write a very simple shell script.

#!/bin/bash
mysvnclean() {
      if [ -d $1 ]; then
              for tmpDescendDir in $1/*
              do
                      if [ -d $tmpDescendDir ] && [ $tmpDescendDir != ".svn" ]; then
                              svnLookupDir="${tmpDescendDir}/.svn"
                              if [ -d $svnLookupDir ]; then
                                      echo "$tmpDescendDir"
                                      svn cleanup $tmpDescendDir
                                      mysvnclean $tmpDescendDir
                              fi
                      fi
              done
      fi
}
mysvnclean $1

save this script with "anyname.sh" and run in like
sh anyname.sh /top/path/to/cleanup

"Religion has actually convinced people that there`s an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do..And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever `til the end of time! ...But He loves you."
