deleted all .svn/entries files; any way to recover?

[ma...@gmail.com]

I have a svn working copy that I did a fair amount of work on.  In a
move of stupidity, I cleared out every .svn/entries file.  In other
words, every .svn/entries file in my working copy is now a zero-byte
file.

Is there any reasonably easy way to recover or re-create the files?

If not, what's the easiest way to commit the changes I made?

Thanks!
Matt

Here's what I'd do:

* get a new working copy by running "svn co" again.

* move all the files from the old, hosed working copy into the new
  working copy (excluding, of course, the files under .svn)

* check in the new working copy 

* rm -rf the old one

* resolve to never again muck with stuff in .svn!
