Restoring removed files
Hi
Today we accidentally removed some files from a subversion repository,
but managed to restore them using a reverse-merge. We gleaned how to do
this from some mail posts etc.
Please can anyone direct me to a formal recommended procedure for
restoring removed files in Subversion?
Can TortoiseSVN help?
Thanks
David

A reverse merge already is the correct method. You could also do a "svn cp"
which also keeps the history, but I'd do that only for single files (and even
then I'd rather to a reverse merge, I guess).
