[lug] Removing hidden directory recursively

[Garett Shulman]

I'de like to see a unix one-liner for this. However when I need to do 
this I use the following python function...

def rmsvn(current_dir):
        for current_dir_item in os.listdir(current_dir):
                try:
                        os.chdir(current_dir + "/" + current_dir_item)
                        if current_dir_item == ".svn":
                                os.system("rm -rf " + current_dir + "/" 
+ current_dir_item)
                        else:  
                                rmsvn(current_dir + "/" + current_dir_item)
                except:
                        continue
