I'm building a tar file on a directory that contains subversion (".svn") subdirectories.

The problem is I want to tar us everything UNLESS!! it lives in a .svn sub directory.

The command I'm currently using is:
  tar -cvf mytar.tar myRootDir 

How do I filter out any subversion directories?
