#Class Hash#
############
#Dijkstra's algorythm requires a priority queue, the easiest way to make one is to add a method
#to hash that pops the key/value pair with the lowest value.
class Hash
#Return the key/value pair with the lowest value as an array, deletes the pair.

smallest_pair = self.min{ |a,b| a[1] <=> b[1]}
self.delete(smallest_pair[0]) if smallest_pair

SVN Cleaner

Git creates one .git folder in the root of a project. SVN creates a .svn/_svn folder in every single folder of it's project. This script cleans out the ( _svn | .svn ) folders left behind by subversion, it's useful when you don't already have an automated release process in place to do this and you quickly need to clean pu a checked out repo for a client/release.

Use this at your own risk.
