Question

I was in the middle of doing a recursive svn add/commit, and a folder which did not have the proper ignore properties was included. I’ve got about 100 uploaded binary files versioned now, but I haven’t committed yet.

What is the easiest way to ‘undo’ this, without deleting all the documents?

Answer 1

Use svn revert --recursive folder_name

Warning

svn revert is inherently dangerous, since its entire purpose is to throw away data — namely, your uncommitted changes. Once you’ve reverted, Subversion provides no way to get back those uncommitted changes.
