This is what I was trying to do...I was doing this under TSVN and
getting errors about my working copy not being uptodate.
I just tried the same thing using the command line (Windows):
# Get old, non-corrupt copy
svn update -r99 foo.jpg
#commit it making it the head
svn commit foo.jpg
When I do this, I get nothing back (just a new prompt) and the file
is not committed and there is not a new head.
If I modify foo.jpg, then I get a "Transaction failed, file out of
date" (not exact words).
