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?
