RE: Questions on SVN

[nihar <ni...@mindtree.com>]

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for your response. I have one more question, if you can help.
I have created a branch and deleted the same. I'm using subversive plug-in over eclipse. I have gone to SVN Repo view, created a branch out of trunk and deleted the same. Now I want to get back the deleted branch. How can I do that using eclipse or Tortoise ? Now if I go to Repo View in eclipse or in Tortoise I'm not able to see that deleted branch. Please help me finding the solution.


Thanks in Advance,
Nihar

You can't, really. There isn't "forward history"; you can see where a
particular branch came from via svn log,but you can't see what
branches were created from a particular point.

The sub-branch is created wherever you tell Subversion to create it.

Subversion doesn't know the difference between between branches, tags,
trunk, etc. - they're just directories. There is nothing internal to
Subversion which distinguishes between a branch and your trunk.

You will want to use a peg revision (as opposed to the usual  
operative revision) to copy the branch back from a revision in which  
it did exist. You can read about peg revisions in the book:

If you need help specifically with how to use peg revisions in  
eclipse or TortoiseSVN, you should ask in their support venues.
