Question

There are multiple "undo svn checkout" questions on here, but none that I have found answer how to literally undo an svn checkout. Is there a way besides manually deleting? (Safer faster way than manually looking through a couple hundred files.)

I was checking out a directory via command line and instead of typing

svn checkout svn://server/project/ .

I typo'd and put svn checkout svn://server/project/ /

If you are missing what I am saying, instead of checking out the project to the current folder, it was checked out to the root of the server and now there are about a hundred files mixed in with the root.

Someone decided to put the . and / right next to each other on the keyboard...

Was it helpful?

Solution

Wouldn't

svn up --set-depth empty /

do the trick?

OTHER TIPS

If you are asking is there an SVN command to do the work for you, the answer is no. You need to manually delete the files.
