The company I work in has suffered a major server failure. During this failure the SVN Repository was lost. But there is still hope ! We have an old backup of the repository which I've managed to successfully restore using VisualSVN.

The problem I'm facing now is that I can't update / commit pre-failure checkedout folders. The reason for this problem is that for instance: a local folder has a revision number of 2361, while the repository itself holds a revision number of 2290, which is older.

Is there a way to deal with this issue ? Can I some how change the revision numbers on either the local copy or the server copy?

A few points:

  • I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6.6.
  • I can checkout folders from the repo and the connection is active.
  • I've picked one of my folders and used the Relocate option on it. This helped me see that there is something wrong with the revision number
  • I've experimented a bit with the merge option but this lead me now where special. (I'm open for suggestions )

Thank you for your time,

Ita
