I don't think it needs to be in the FAQ because it's already in the
book. See "Undoing Changes"

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/
svn.branchmerge.commonuses.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.undo

and "Resurrecting Deleted Items"

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/
svn.branchmerge.commonuses.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.resurrect

Users are expected to have read the book, and the FAQ, I suppose.

I suppose an "svn resurrect" or "svn undelete" could be convenient.
But it's just a special case of something that can already be done as
described above.
