You’re right, but I didn’t want to do that because there was a bunch of files that I didn’t want to get rid of. I was taking a quick and dirty shortcut. Although I’m sure its probably not even good practice, it worked like a bomb for me.

Merge will get rid of files that you've created since you screwed up, for example. In your checkout, assuming you've got a clean latest checkout, you can run: $ svn merge -r BASE:4815 . $ svn commit -m "Revert back to r4815" That will revert you back to exactly 4815, with no chance of errors coming in.

Specially the way it fits into VS. There are quite a lot of subversioning software apps out there, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. Point is, you should at least have something like that, else you're stuffed in the above mentioned situation! I’ve worked with SourceSafe before and it is brilliant.

The merging of files gave us issues. SourceSafe with VS2008 still rocks, but SVN definitely has its place. Glad it could sort you out though We tried implementing SVN with Visual Studio 2008 but it was a complete FAIL. The merging of files gave us issues.
