Hi,
This should be a FAQ, but I didn't find a proper answer, so here I am.
I suffered a crash in my SVN server machine.
I had a slightly old version of the repository on my backup disks.
I have a few modified working copies.
I restored the server and the repository.
All *seemed* ok, but, unfortunately, the latest version of saved repo was
99, while the "current" in my working copies is 104.
Now Subclipse (and TortoiseSVN) refuse to Submit my latest copy because
"version 104 does not exist".
I understand I lost a few steps in the program history, but I would like to
salvage as much as possible.
What is the right incantation to achieve that?
I would rather not checkout a fresh copy, move all changes to it and submit
that, if possible, because it is too error-prone.
That is what you will have to do.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think 'rsync --delete -avC source dest' would
copy the existing checked-out working copy that you want to become the
new HEAD on top of a tree checked out from your restored backup. The
'-C' option is shorthand for a bunch of excludes that should keep it
from copying over the metadata under .svn directories along with things
that are typically build results.
