Hello, as svn is the owner of .svn directories I suppose it can delete them. More over according to my experience process launched into exec() have more rights that other php functions.
For help here is my possible workflow : checkout some commits delete the working directory I'm in local on Windows for the moment, I'm going to install a local FTP server to check the rights of the files. But they are created by svn, in my mind it could delete them.

Guten Tag Damien Mistic, am Dienstag, 26.

The permissions stay the same, however they look like for your webserver. > And the 'export' function is not what I want because my aim is to delete > the > folder, not really get a clean copy. But what is the difference between having a functional working copy, destroy it by deleting the .svn folders and a clean export, which is designed to make exactly what you want? Maybe you should describe your scenario a bit more. > If there is no way I think we must add a new function to SVN, such as 'svn > unlink' or 'svn dissociate' And what will this change if your error is permissions on the .svn-folders and files in there?
