Change head revision

[Deiced First <de...@hotmail.com>]

Hi, subversion experts ;)

May I ask a question? I have been looking for a similar one, but I'm afraid 
I could not find it.

Well, as far as I know the last revision you commit to a repository is the 
revision you get when, in example, another user update from the repository. 
Am I rigth?

My question is ... Can I change something in the repository to point to 
other revision on some files? In example, for the file 'class1.java' I have 
in my repository the revision #1,#3 and #5. One day, I decide to change the 
file and commit a new revision (the #99), but someone on the proyect says 
that this already commited revision has to wait, in example, one week. I 
don't want to loose my pretty new modification, but also I would like to 
avoid updating it from the repository until next week.

The dirty-easy way, maybe, is to create a new revision #100 from the #99, 
but with the content of the #5. Or maybe delete the #99 and keep the source 
in another folder. Is there any cleaner svn way of doing this?

Really thanks.

Sounds like you want to use branches.  Read about it in chapter 4.
