stupid administrator question

[Brian Field <br...@corefix.com>]

I am trying to set up and use an SVN library then once it is working, 
convince my boss to use it. I installed 1.0 and set up a repository. I 
think imported my source code to a "trunk" directory, I also imported a tag 
version. I copied from the trunk to a branch version, using an Eclipse 
plugin, Subclipse (more on that in a minute). Whilst trying a few things 
and attempting to do something else, I inadvertently deleted my branch 
version from the repository. I still have the project in eclipse. with all 
the svn folders and data.
How can I recreate the branch version with what I have in my working copy. 
It won't commit (gets on error about not finding the  repository files, 
understandable!).
If I just take out the svn folders and data then re import into the branch, 
will I be able to merge the changes I have made at a latter date?
I tried using SVN Tortoise as well, seems to work better than Subclipse, 
but I still don't know how to recreate the branch version form the working 
copy.

As for Subclipse, Eclipse beats itself to death trying to "decorate" the 
files. And doesn't seem to work properly with version 1.0. I think it isn't 
up to date with the Subversion version

If anyone there uses Eclipse I would love to have a chat and get a few 
pointers. I need a library system and I hate CVS.

Thanks
Brian

If by deleted you mean svn rm (not a dump/reload without the files) then
just follow the instructions on how to restore things:

P.S. use questions belong on the user@ list not dev@ list.
