# svn_cleanup

(PECL svn >= 0.1.0)

svn_cleanup — Recursively cleanup a working copy directory, finishing incomplete operations and removing locks

### Description

bool svn_cleanup ( string `$workingdir` )

Recursively cleanup working copy directory `workingdir`, finishing any incomplete operations and removing working copy locks. Use when a working copy is in limbo and needs to be usable again.

### Parameters

`workingdir`

  String path to local working directory to cleanup

  > Note: Relative paths will be resolved as if the current working directory was the one that contains the PHP binary. To use the calling script's working directory, use realpath() or dirname(__FILE__).

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Notes

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

### Examples

Example #1 Basic example

This example demonstrates clean up of a working copy in a directory named help-me:

`<?php
svn_cleanup(realpath('help-me'));
?>`

The realpath() call is necessary due to SVN's quirky handling of relative paths.
