SVN - Commit to older revision version


we have a svn repository on a server, and some clients updating/commiting to it.

Now, the server crashed yesterday and the backup available is a week ok old, and has an older svn head saved. Let's say the Head from the backup is revision 2895.

The clients however have revision ie. 2930. When I try to commit to the server, I get an error that the revision on the server is a older one. I can't check in, I can't upgrade and I can't commit.

Has anybody an idea of what I can do to either increment the revision's counter on the server, or how to make a commit under this circumstances?

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Can't you copy locally your 2930, revert to 2895 and then commit everything back to 2896?
