RE: How to get history on an overwritten svn url?

Brent:
That holds true for anything. If you are trying to debug a problem, you can delete a piece of source and then update it to the revision where you last thought it worked. SVN is a fantastic tool. We love it where I work.

Bingo, peg revisions. So if I deleted /trunk at rev 100, I can still
'get it back' with e.g.:

   svn co svn://.../trunk_at_99

Thanks Hyrum!
