SVN undo delete before commit

If you delete a directory from an SVN working copy, but haven't committed yet, it's not obvious how to get it back. Google even suggests "svn undo delete before commit" as a common query when you type "svn undo d", but the search results are unhelpful.

edit: I'd like a solution that works in subversion 1.4.4

Solution

  • svn revert deletedDirectory

    Here's the documentation for the svn revert command.

    EDIT

    If deletedDirectory was deleted using rmdir and not svn rm, you'll need to do

    svn update deletedDirectory

    instead.
