How can I get `find` to ignore .svn directories?

Question

I often use the find command to search through source code, delete files, whatever. Annoyingly, because Subversion stores duplicates of each file in its .

Answer 1

I use find with the -not -path options. I have not had good luck with prune.

find .  -name "*.groovy" -not -path "./target/*" -print

will find the groovy files not in the target directory path.
