I want to remove .svn directories, and I found the solution below on the
internet:
find . -name .svn -exec rm -vrf {} \;
Can anyone explain to me what exactly does it mean? Thank you!

find .
= find from the current directory (.) down
-name .svn
= all files and directories named ".svn"
-exec
= and execute the following command:
rm -vrf
= which is the "rm" command using arguments "-vrf" (man rm)
{} \;
= giving that command each file/dir name as it's found.

Or checkout your dirs and files without creating .svn dirs:
svn export URL
