It looks like svn move can handle url to url moves, so you don't need a
working copy to move them back. Merging does require a working copy.

The only way to remove revisions from history entirely is by clever use
of dump + filter + load. There are lots of docs about how to do this,
both in the svn faq and in the archives for this list.

If you have a backup that was taken shortly before the unauthorized
procedure, you could start with that and just dump and load the few
revisions you need to bring your backup repo completely up-to-date.
