Use the command line. Start -> Run, cmd.exe Refer to 'help dir', 'help
attrib', 'help find', and 'help for'.
"dir /s/b/a-d/ar" will find any read-only files. 'Attrib -r' will
remove the read-only bit. You can't use 'attrib /s' since that will
walk into the .svn dirs. 'find' is a low class grep you use to exclude
the '.svn' dirs. 'for' is a looping statement that's complicated even
by IRS standards.
Solution:
dir /s/b/a-d/ar | find /v "\.svn\" > a.txt
for /f %i in (a.txt) do attrib -r "%i"
If you don't want to see the commands as they run, add the '@' to
attrib, like so:
for /f %i in (a.txt) do @attrib -r "%i"
And yes, this is still mostly on topic as an fyi, since Windows users
need a way to fix/process/scan a workspace without stepping on the .svn
dirs. (Granted you really should install Cygwin and learn ksh/bash, but
that's a different story.)
