TortoiseSVN Update Head from Revision

Question

I am new to tortoiseSVN - What is the best way to update the head from a revision?

Answer 1

In your working copy, do a backmerge to a revision before the start of the work on the "long feature" and then commit.

Answer 2

If you want to update your working folder with the latest (HEAD) revision from the repository then right click on the Folder and select 'SVN update'.

If you want to commit the changes you made locally to the repository, so that the HEAD revision will incorporate your changes then right click on the Folder and select 'SVN commit'.
