If you are the subversion administrator, the following command will return the directories located in your repository.
svnlook tree $REPO_DIR --full-paths | egrep "/$" The trick is the grep command that is looking for a trailing "/" character in the name
Same trick works for the svn command as well
svn list $REPO_URL -R | egrep "/$" Extra notes
To repeatedly run this command you can put it into a shell for loop
for url in $URL1 $URL2 $URL2 do svn list $url -R | egrep "/$" done

when i execute svn list $REPO_URL -R | egrep "/$" the following result svn: '.' is not a working copy
Mark O'Connor
Yes.... And I get the same result when running the following command: "svn list $I_SHOULD_REPLACE_THIS_WITH_MY_OWN_URL_LOCATION -R". Please use a valid subversion URL when running the command

iam sorry i don't have expert in this field ... and i under big press... you mean like this "svn list $/var/lib/svn/repos -R | egrep "/$" " if you mean this the following result appearsvn: '$/var/lib/svn' is not a working copy
