Does "cvs release" delete the files that are under version control, or
does it just delete the CVS directories and notify the server of the
release? If you don't mind keeping the files that were under version
control, you can just get rid of the .svn directories with:

find <path-to-wc> -type d -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
