SVN: Revert to a previous revision after a wrong update

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Wenbert Del Rosario

Let’s say for example you accidentally ran “svn update” and your working copy got the updates that it shouldn’t have — unfinished patches, etc.

What you should do is check the logs using:

svn log | more

Look for the revision number then:

svn up -r 1234

*where 1234 is the previous revision number you want to go back to.

Another reason why you should properly put comments when commiting to your repository.
