RE: Re: Revert to a previous version

Thanks. In my case I checked in something I need to revert in revision
39. I think try the following:

C:\subversion\KeenDev\SRC\sbin>svn merge -r 39:38
http://svn/SourceCode/KeenCorp/SRC/sbin

C:\subversion\KeenDev\SRC\sbin>svn status

Neither command returns any info & when I look at the file it has not
been reverted back. However, if I do the following for one of the
changed files I do see the differences:
C:\subversion\KeenDev\SRC\sbin>svn diff -r 39:38 README.txt
***changes listed***

Ok - now I see the difference. I just tried the following:
C:\subversion\KeenDev\SRC\sbin>svn merge -r 39:38 .

This worked. So using the local path versions the URL as suggested in
the book (in the Undoing changes) section worked. However, that begs
the question of why the version with the URL above did not work?

svn co project
<edit foo.c, adding bugs>
svn ci foo.c (commits to r348)
<realize terrible error>
svn merge -r348:347 foo.c
svn ci foo.c (commits 349)

note the ordering of the revision numbers in the merge command. what
this really says is "make a diff between revision 348 and 347, and apply
it immediately to foo.c"

if you are trying to revert a directory tree with moves or deletes in
it, and are getting arcane errors, try the --ignore-ancestry flag.

hope this helps.
