That is not a solution. Replace is not what someone would want or
expect here and the end result would fail both of the tests that Johan
proposed.

Replace means you are creating a new line of history within
Subversion. So for example, after you commit, history on the new file
would stop at the replace operation, as there would be no connection
to that original file.

The only thing you can do is revert. The problem is that you will
also need to do something to manage the file contents, as revert is
going to restore the pristine revision. So if there are changes, they
need to be fetched from somewhere and restored after the revert
completes.
