Deleting the trunk is not an option. To do the reverse merge, I created a working copy (which includes the files which are incorrect and I want to revert via the merge). Within my working copy, I typed:
svn merge -c -177 https://trunk/path_to_directory 177 being the revision I want to roll back to but nothing happens. svn status shows nothing. What am I missing?
