@Stefan: Unfortunately, the ChangeLog is one of the files overwritten.

@Andreas: I would think that we would lose more work reverting the
merge than I lost. It will just take me some time to find and merge
all my recent changes back. Fortunately, there is the email
svn-commit-notification.

About SVN, it sounds like you have had problems with it the past.  The
fact that it deleted my local copies (with history) from my hard drive
has convinced me that it is not to be trusted. I didn't get a single
notification that this was happening.  The only command I issued from
the synchonization view was Update, and I never saw my class files in
the update list.

You may disagree, but what is your alternative to prevent this from
happening in the future?
