Re: How to un-commit and fall back to a previous version

hi,

have a look at the subversion book on "undoing changes" here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch04s04.html

.. you can undo a changeset by merging in reverse order and then
commiting again.

in case you've got tortoisesvn, it has a menu entry for that.. just open
the log of some dir and choose the "revert changes from this revision" item.

hth, max
