How do I revert an SVN commit

Question

I have found various examples of how to revert an SVN commit like  svn merge -r  current version   previous version   repository url    or  svn merge -c - R      But neither of them seems to work  I tried those commands and checked the files that were changed by hand   How do I revert a commit with revision number 1944  How do I check that the revert has been done  without looking in the actual file to the changes have been reverted

I tried the above   svn merge  and you re right  it does jack   However   svn update -r  lt revision gt   lt target gt   -R    seems to work  but isn t permanent  my svn is simply showing an old revision    So I had to   mv  lt target gt   lt target backup gt  svn update  lt target gt  mv  lt target backup gt   lt target gt  svn commit -m  Reverted commit on  lt target gt    lt target gt    In my particular case my target is interfaces AngelInterface php   I made changes to the file  committed them  updated the build computer ran the phpdoc compiler and found my changes were a waste of time   svn log interfaces AngelInterface php shows my change as r22060 and the previous commit on that file was r22059   So I can svn update -r 22059 interfaces AngelInterface php and I end up with code as it was in -r22059 again   Then  -  mv interfaces AngelInterface php interfaces AngelInterface php  svn update interfaces AngelInterface php mv interfaces AngelInterface php  interfaces AngelInterface php svn commit -m  reverted -r22060  interfaces AngelInterface php   Alternatively I could do the same thing on a directory  by specifying   -R in place of interfaces AngelInterface php in all the above

If you want to completely remove commits from history  you can also do a dump of the repo at a specific revision  then import that dump  Specifically   svnrdump dump -r 1  lt rev gt   lt url gt   gt  filename dump   The svnrdump command performs the same function as svnadmin dump but works on a remote repo    Next just import the dump file into your repo of choice  This was tested to worked well on Beanstalk

The following will do a dry run  as it says   HEAD being current version  PREV is previous  then the path to your file  or committed item   svn merge --dry-run -rHEAD PREV https   example com svn myproject trunk   If the dry run looks good  run the command without the --dry-run  Verify the change in revision and re-commit   To browse for version numbers try   svn log

It is impossible to  uncommit  a revision  but you can revert your working copy to version 1943 and commit that as version 1945  The versions 1943 and 1945 will be identical  effectively reverting the changes

While the suggestions given already may work for some people  it does not work for my case  When performing the merge  users at rev 1443 who update to rev 1445  still sync all files changed in 1444 even though they are equal to 1443 from the merge  I needed end users to not see the update at all   If you want to completely hide the commit it is possible by creating a new branch at correct revision and then swapping the branches  The only thing is you need to remove and re add all locks   copy -r 1443 file     lt your branch gt  file     lt your branch at correct rev gt  svn move file     lt your branch gt  file     lt backup branch gt  svn move file     lt your branch at correct rev gt  file     lt your branch gt    This worked for me  perhaps it will be helpful to someone else out there
