How to remove all deleted files from repository?

I just tried this and it works perfectly.

$ svn st | grep '^!' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn delete --force
D         groups.pl
D         textblock.pl

Do your files have spaces in their names?

WAIT A SECOND!! I see the problem. You have:

svn --force delete

and not:

svn delete --force

The --force is a parameter of the delete command and not the svn command.

I have found another solution, too.

svn status | grep '^\!' | sed 's/! *//' | xargs -I% svn rm %

I have seen it on http://donunix.blogspot.de/2009/02/svn-remove-all-deleted-files.html
