    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The example from the man page (v4.6.0, may be in earlier ones as well)

    find repo/ -exec test -d {}/.svn \; -or \
    -exec test -d {}/.git \; -or -exec test -d {}/CVS \; \
    -print -prune

Should be

    find repo/ \( -exec test -d {}/.svn \; -or \
    -exec test -d {}/.git \; -or -exec test -d {}/CVS \; \) \
    -print -prune

Otherwise the -print and -prune only pertain to the last -exec test -d {}/CVS
\;
