Thanks Felix, that's a great help.
However, I ran 'svn up -r 8099', and while it did appear to make some changes, and 'svn info' now returns 8099, files that were added after revision 8099 remain in the working directory, leading me to believe it wasn't a true roll back.
Can you elablorate a little on what 'svn up' does ? - it doesn't appear to be documented in O'Reilly's book.
As an alternative option, I guess I could delete the contents of the working directory and then
svn checkout -r 8099
but that seems a little clumsy.
