RE: Roll back on a tag

By accident, this got offlist.

You would merge the changes from the tag, into a working copy of the trunk.

svn co http://sourceforge/svn/repos/olb20/ePay/trunk epay
cd epay
svn merge -c 426 http://sourceforge/svn/repos/olb20/ePay/ .

Your workingcopy now should contain the changes.

Take a look at the svn help merge command. (Especially the difference between -c -426 and -c 426)

Thanks guys, I was able to accomplish what I needed with the following
commands.

svn merge -c -426 http://sourceforge/svn/repos/olb20/ePay/tags/ePay-1.0.5/
svn merge -c -425 http://sourceforge/svn/repos/olb20/ePay/tags/ePay-1.0.5/

That removed the changes and allowed me to commit source that is equivalent
to revision 211, so our source in the tag is preserved. Now I need to move
the changes from "tags/ePay-1.0.5" revision 426 (the accidental commit) into
trunk, overwriting what is currently in the trunk. To do so, I check out
trunk, then tried to use svn copy to copy over the src directory of revision
426 from the accidental commit to my workspace, but it doesn't seem to
work. I've tried the following.

svn copy -r 426 http://sourceforge/svn/repos/olb20/ePay/tags/ePay-1.0.5/src
.

This doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Todd
