'course it does. It knows which files are to be ignored, and thus can be savely thrown away, and it does know which files are not under version control, and thus should be removed for a clean working copy. Likewise, svn forces me to use the \( -name .svn -prune \) clause in all my find-greps, even though the presense of the .svn folders is clearly svns business. > Your CI tool is should clean up itself. That would be not the CI tool but the entire build system, potentially including editors used etc. pp. (CI being just an example of the usefulness of an hypothetical 'svn cleanup'.) We go the way of keeping a clean sandbox and making a copy of it for each build. And it's not as if svn itself always cleans up after itself. Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."
