RE: Roll back on a tag

Perhaps answering the question might have been more useful (although yes, your comment is
completely valid).

My guess is "no" because svn merge as you have written it will merge into the current
folder, which should be a working copy of the epay-1.0.5 tag. You could also just delete
the tag and recreated it (svn cp -r 211 <src url> http://soureforge/epay/tags/epay-1.0.5)
since you don't need any modifications committed to that folder since it was created
anyway and this is easier than merging in any direction (forward/backward).

Hope that helps.

Greg.

Cenceptually, you don't checkout/commit tags, but rather branches, though the two

implementations are the same.

Hi All,
 I have a new dev who checked out a tag, then accidentally committed back to the same tag.
I found a way to do it here.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.commonuses.undo

However the current repository version is at 426, the tags "correct" version is 211. If I
execute

svn merge -c -211 http://sourceforge/epay/tags/epay-1.0.5

Will that roll the whole repository back, or just the tag?

Thanks,
Todd
