My colleague David Kemp taught me a very useful technique yesterday: how to easily back-out (ie erase) the effect of one or more Subversion commits, even when those commits happened in the past and are not at the “tip” of the repository. Barring merge problems, its as if those commits never happened.
merge -r243:242 file:///c:/projects/arcadia/Development/Repository/Arcadia
Note how in this command, we merge from a higher number revision backward to a lower number, on the same branch. This creates working copy modifications with the changes contained in Revision 243 undone.
Here’s a screenshot from within Eclipse:
