Thanks for the quick response. I couldn't find the revision where I
clobbered my project, using Tortoise. I went back as far as I remember to
mid-February when I created it, to no avail.
Luckily I still had the working folder intact with all its .svn subdirs...so
I ran svn import and recreated the project from scratch but I DON'T THINK I
preserved my history, or did I?
Thanks again.

There are a couple of pretty easy ways to do it.
1) Use svn copy to copy your project as it existed prior to deleting it.
For example, suppose you deleted it in revision 100. Then:
svn copy -r 99 url://to/project url://to/project -m "Restore Project"
Would do it.
In TortoiseSVN use the repository browser and click on HEAD. Change to
the revision when project existed. Right-click and choose the Copy
option.
2) Do a reverse merge. Again, assuming you did in revision 100 and you
have a WC connected to your repository root.
svn merge -r100:99 url://to/repos
This will undo the change.
In TortoiseSVN, if you have a WC connected to root, then right click and
do Show Log. Find the commit that did the delete and right click and take
the Undo changes from this revision option.
Review and commit in either case.
When it is an entire project, option #1 is easiest. When it is some
specific folders/files or even just some changes to those files, then
option #2 is easiest.
