Hi,

Two things:
 1) You should never have a large update save for merges - This allows
you to screw up and never lose too much work.
 2) You can always undo deletes

So what you should do in this case is svn merge -c -
THE_REVISION_WHICH_DELETED_EVERYTHING (note the minus in front of the
revision argument) and then svn commit. Then do your update again.

Good luck. Sometimes these things are a good but painful way to learn.
Except for personal stupidity deleting actual repositories (on toy
projects!) without backups, I've never lost more than a couple of hours
of work.
