Deep trouble: Renamed my root folder, all unversioned and un-commited files deleted

["Rev. Steve Klett" <st...@gmail.com>]

I've tried 3 file recovery programs, none of them are finding the data.

2 questions;
1)  Why did this happen?
2)  Anyone know a programe that will recover files that weren't deleted by
the user "interactively" deleting the file?

Please help, please...

Not on Windows.  On Windows deletes done through Explorer are basically 
just moves into the "Recycle bin" folder; deletes by programs like svn 
are real file system deletes, so are harder to undo.

You tell us. Subversion is not supposed to delete unversioned not-yet- 
committed files at all, unless you tell it you really want it to by  
using the --force option. What command did you issue?

I don't think it matters how the file was deleted. Any file recovery  
program for your OS should work as well as such programs can work.  
They will be more likely to help you if you haven't gone writing a  
whole lot of other files to the hard drive since the accidental  
deletion.

Hello,
 
This will not make the issue progress, but you may feel less lonely if I tell you that I got in the same problem two times. 
 
The first time I renamed a directory above the one of the workspace root of a user and he lost many things during an update.
The second time, I've deleted and add again (the same files structure with the same name) and the update operation has also deleted everything.
 
The first time I was unable to reproduce the problem. For the second time I did not try.
I think there is really something strange we should look into...
 
Regards
Christophe
