Summary
You could make use of the "Revert" command to undo the changes
we made to a file .
"Revert" is the other option to "delete
and update"!
If you've ever made
changes to a file in your CVS working copy that you wanted to undo
without committing, you probably did something like this to rectify
the situation:
$ rm I-made-a-boo-boo.txt
$ cvs up
I-made-a-boo-boo.txt
U I-made-a-boo-boo.txt
And that,
aside from requiring two separate operations, required a trip to the
server to get the unblemished file (which, by the way, may not be the
original file you were working on but rather a newer version).
Subversion, however, stores a pristine copy of each file in the .svn
directory, so you can just do this:
$ svn revert
I-made-a-boo-boo.txt
Reverted 'I-made-a-boo-boo.txt'
That
comes in especially handy if you don't have an Internet connection at
the time.
