Of course there is :-) It's svn cleanup.
I thought cleanup was just to remove dodgy files after an interrupted commit or something like that, basically to return the working copy to a usable state. But apparently it also delete those temporary files.
I have now set up a weekly cron job to cleanup my working copies.
I post a reply just in case somewhere is wondering the same thing and can't find an answer. Well, there you go.
