Reverting to the previous SVN version

Posted under » Version Control on 3 April 2020

Sometimes shit happens and the website broke because of a new update.

The answer is to merge an old version, normally the previous version ...say release 269 into the current release or HEAD.

cd folder
svn up
svn merge -r HEAD:269 .

So when you SVN status, it will show the files has been modified by the old version. Once happy, you can then commit this new (but older) version.
