How to revert a bad commit in SVN
Answer:
In SVN, if you have committed something wrong, how do you rollback it?
You cannot use the svn revert command since it has been commited, you need to do a merge instead
E.g. Rollback from current version to revision 98
# svn merge -r HEAD:98 http://example.com/svn/repos/demo/trunk
# svn commit -m "Reverting previous bad commit and going back to revision 98"
Import files and directories into a SVN repository
Answer:
To import files and directories into a SVN repository, you can use the svn import command.
E.g.
Import all files and directories under the current working directory "project1" to a local SVN repository
# cd /data/project1
svn import file:///data/svn/project1
