--0000000000005d18260649a41c01 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" svn: version 1.14.5 (r1922182) OS: Linux Fedora 42 I had deleted a directory in svn using svn del <working directory> followed by a commit on that delete. svn committed the delete, giving me a revision number. The files are still on my working directory but an svn list of the file:///home/svn-repo/__project_path__/trunk shows empty. Trying to revert using the svn path, svn revert file:///home/svn-repo/__project_path__/trunk doesn't work. Looked in the svn red bean book, couldn't finding anything on undoing a delete post commit. Is it possible to undelete those files in svn? i.e Is it possible to revert to the state of directory prior to the delete revision number? --0000000000005d18260649a41c01 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">svn: version 1.14.5 (r1922182)<br>OS: Linux Fedora 42<br><= br>I had deleted a directory in svn using svn del <working directory>= <br>followed by a commit on that delete.<br><br>svn committed the delete, g= iving me a revision number.<br><br>The files are still on my working direct= ory but an svn list of the<br>file:///home/svn-repo/__project_path__/trunk = shows empty. <br><br><br>Trying to revert using the svn path,<br>svn revert= file:///home/svn-repo/__project_path__/trunk <br>doesn't work.<br><br>= Looked in the svn red bean book, couldn't finding anything on undoing a= <br>delete post commit.<br><br>Is it possible to undelete those files in sv= n? i.e Is it possible to<br>revert to the state of directory prior to the d= elete revision number?<br></div> --0000000000005d18260649a41c01--
