Recursively delete .svn folders

Found here: http://xentek.net/xentek/315/recursively-delete-svn-folders/

This is fast and efficient because rm is only run once.

Remove a file whose name begins with a dash ( - ) character

Using the redundant ./ directory information prevents the dash from occurring at the beginning of the filename, and being interpreted as an option of the rm command.

Also works using:

rm -- -filename

Delete all ".svn" directories from current path (recursive)

If you need to delete all redundant ".svn" directories from a given path and all its subdirectories, use this command !

Particulary useful if you want to upload to an ftp server, but don't use svn or if you need to update/backup some source code to another directory.

You can also try "svn export . /new/path/without/svn/dirs" (also from the CLI)

Clean all .pyc files from current project. It cleans all the files recursively.

For a python project, sometimes I need to clean all the compiled python files. I have an alias 'rmpyc' to this command. This really saves me a lot of typing and hunting throughout the folders to delete those files.

Retrieve a list of all webpages on a site

This spiders the given site without downloading the HTML content. The resulting directory structure is then parsed to output a list of the URLs to url-list.txt. Note that this can take a long time to run and you make want to throttle the spidering so as to play nicely.
