I just deleted a folder in my SVN that I realized I need to keep. I tried what this thread says I should be able to do, but it doesn’t work:

~/Documents/svn/myProject > svn revert -R sandbox
Skipped 'sandbox'

What am I doing wrong?

    You committed the “svn delete”? Then you have 2 Options:

    1. You do a reverse merge of the revision that deleted the directory: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.undo
    2. You update your working copy to the revision before the delete, copy the now existing directory elsewhere outside the working copy, then update to HEAD again. Now you can copy the directory back and re-add it. This way you will loose (disconnect) the history of the directory, though.
