Since Subversion always keeps historical information, the data will still be there, even if it appears to be gone moving forward from the latest revision. It is always possible to update to an older revision to make the deleted data reappear. This is the purpose of version control. If you can tell us a little more about the Subversion server and the repository, we can suggest possible steps you can take. Specifically: What version of Subversion is used on the server? How big is the repository? How many revisions in the repository? What format is the repository backend? (bdb or fsfs?) Thanks, Nathan
