Re: Files on trunk overwritten...

Deleting the trunk is not an option.

To do the reverse merge, I created a working copy (which includes the files
which are incorrect and I want to revert via the merge).
Within my working copy, I typed:

svn merge -c -177 https://trunk/path_to_directory

177 being the revision I want to roll back to but nothing happens.

svn status shows nothing. What am I missing?
