Is it possible to rollback to an old revision
Hi there,
I'm using Subversion 0.37.0 win32 binary
and TortoiseSVN 0.26.0.
Say I have 2 revisions.
Revision 1 - my initial import
Revision 2 - Changed and added some files
Then I decide it's not going the way I want so I want to rollback to the
initial import. How do I do it.
It seems as though I can update to revision 1 but this doesn't move the
HEAD to revision 1 so subsequent updates revert back to Revision 2.
Any ideas how I can make the update to revision a permantent change?
Thanks,
Phil Thompson

Thanks guys,
I couldn't find it in the book. I guess I wasn't sure what I was looking
for which is always the problem when one is trying to find something!
Thanks again.

Update can be used to temporarily roll back to a particular version, but not
permanently (as you have noticed). What you need is actually the merge
operation.
svn merge -r2:1 http://url/to/repo/project/trunk .
svn ci -m 'Rolled back to r1' .
The key to this is the arguments to '-r'. This tell svn to use r2 as the base
and then compute the difference against r1, and apply it to the working copy.
The Subversion book talks about doing things like this. Check it out at
svnbook.red-bean.com. This is the section you want in this case:
