find command and .SVN folder

To tell find to exclude .svn directories, use the -prune option:

find . \
-path '*/.svn'-prune \
-o -type f -print



Find . directory files
Pass thru the following condition
If the path ends with .svn (.svn can be file or folder), (prune) dont decend
OR if item is file, then print

NOTE: The optimisation is like compiler one, only when the first condition fails, then only the second evaluated


To display only .svn folders
find . -path '*/.svn' -prune
