Re: Undoing last commit

If I'm correct, one of the principles of Subversion is that no data ever
gets destroyed. So, to make that commit go away, you would probably have to
do something along the lines of:

1. Dump your current repository to a dumpfile.
2. Backup your current repository in case something goes wrong.
3. Edit the dumpfile, removing the last revision.
4. Re-create the repository using 'svnadmin create'.
5. Load the edited dumpfile.

Someone more knowledgable than myself may have a better solution.
