Re: How to restore files to current version

Sure. Say you were working http://server/foo and someone deleted bar.cpp
from it in revision 43

Then, assuming that you had a working copy somewhere, you'd cd to the
working area, and execute this:

svn cp -r 42 http://server/foo/bar.cpp .

That would copy the file from the version of the repository and place it in
your working copy. Do that once per
file and then commit.
