Question

I just started to use Subversion with TortoiseSVN.
Let’s name my initial working copy as A.
I made in A a lot of changes and then commited it.

But when my colleague updated on my commit it did not compile at his machine.
Then he refused A and did a lot of changes and commits starting from version before A.
His last commit name is say B.

Then I updated my A to his B.
Could you please help me with the following question:
How can I come back to my initial A version?

If I press in log “Update item to revision” or “Revert to this revision” or “Revert changes from this revision” it does not help.. I select revision A and then do this things and cannot see my work..

Answer 1

You can update your working copy to A with the command:

svn up -rA <path to your repository>

where A is the revision number of your changes

or in TortoiseSVN, use TortoiseSVN → Update to Revision for your working copy.
