So sheepishly I ask if this is possible…
In trying to resolve a conflicted file, I overwrote all my changes with the most recent version from the repository and then committed. Now I’m realizing I wanted to save a lot of that. Does my local svn keep track of the changes? Are they at all recoverable?
svn only keeps the changes that you commit, if you never committed the changes then they will of been lost.
How did you resolve the conflict? There is a small chance that the files that svn creates when it detects a conflict, something like
<filename>.r<revision_number>will still be there if you resolved the conflict manually.
