@mrrau: No, there is no way to revert revert. When I have any doubts, I run svn diff > current-work.diff from the top of my working copy before reverting. Then you have a patch you can re-apply if you are missing something.

And maybe somebody know how to revert revert?
I have lost my all uncommited changes because of accidentally using revert

Heh, thanks. I could toootally swear last time I checked svn revert’s syntax it didn’t have a recursive switch yet, but that’d probably turn out to be wrong. Maybe I wasn’t wearing my glasses or something.

I think, actually I was just looking for an excuse to use awk in public.

Eevee beat me to it, but I think it’s awesome that this is the first solution that occurred to you, even though “svn help revert” or even just Google would have made your job easier. This implies that you’re a leader, or something. Also, I’m impressed at your awk skillz.

Haha, see — I knew it! Thanks!

(Of course you do need to admit, my way looks way cooler )
