I have a SVN repository on a remote server. I regularly update it with commits from my local dev machine.

I accidently deleted a sub-folder of the repository on my LOCAL machine (not on the server). Now I have tried all things to get the folder from repository on my local machine, but for some reason it does not seem to work.

As a last resort, I did a checkout of the deleted sub-folder from Repo browser. But if I now commit from a parent folder, the child-folder modified files are not included in the commit, and I need to commit them separately.

Can someone please tell me how to recover an accidently deleted folder on local machone from the SVN repo??

    I am not able to replicate this issue using TortoiseSVN (just mentioning this because of tortoisesvn tag)

    I did just solve a similar problem on command line. Regular “svn update” would not bring the folder back in, but this worked:

    rm -rf folder
svn up folder

    You may want to make sure you have no local changes in the folder first 🙂
