Thanks Nick,
I tried that, but it doesn't prune files that have been added to trunk.
Basically, I have a huge mess on my hands. 1 dev was working in trunk on
his own prototype and we want to discard all of his changes, unfortunately
they're all in trunk, otherwise I could just delete the branch :). The
other developer accidentally committed his changes to a "tag" directory.
So, I'm trying to completely replace everything recursively in trunk, since
we don't want to keep the changes, with the changes that are accidentally
committed in the tag directory (revision 426). I've tried svn copy, but
this didn't work. I'm a bit timid to delete everything in trunk, then
perform a copy, but is this my only route?
