I have two working copies of a Subversion repository, one of the trunk, and one of a branch I created.
I accidentally deleted the branch in a repository browser. How do I restore the branch? Is there a way to undo the most recent commit for the whole repository?
Use:
svn cp [path to deleted branch]@[revision before delete] [new path]
For example:
svn cp svn://myrepo.com/svn/branches/2.0.5@1993 \
svn://myrepo.com/svn/branches/2.0.5_restored
Where 1993 is the revision before the delete...
Here is some good documentation...
There must be some way of escaping the @ symbol in the username...
Here is a solution if you are using TortoiseSVN:
- In the repo browser, navigate to the parent folder of the folder you deleted (e.g. "branches").
- Right click on the folder and do a "Show Log."
- Find the revision where you deleted the specific branch folder.
- Select the revision immediately before that revision.
- Right click and choose "Browse Repository." You are now looking at the state of the repository at the point in time right before you deleted the branch.
- Find the branch folder that you deleted, select, right-click, and choose "Copy to..."
- You can now copy the deleted folder to either a new name or even the same name.
Assuming your last revision was 108:
svn merge --revision 108:107
svn diff
svn commit -m "Reverted revision 108"
You can also add your source URL to the merge:
svn merge --revision 108:107 http://svn/repo/

I ran into this problem, but the above command didn't work for me. What did was much easier. I checked out the branch at one revision before I removed it.
The revision that was removed was 9331. I checked it out at 9330:
svn co https://svn.acme.com/svn/giantFlySwatterTargetingSystem/branches/bug1234@9330 restored
That was the easy solution I wanted.
This worked for me,
svn cp --username your_user_name https://path_to_your_repo/branches/deleted_branch_name@last_revision_before_deletion https://path_to_your_repo/branches/new_name_for_branch
Alternatively, if it was a single commit that deleted the branch:
Revert the commit and then commit
svn merge -c -REV .
svn commit -m "Reverting deletion of branch XYZ"
I ran into the same problem and solved it this way in SmartSVN (Enterprise 6.0.2):
- Open a view on the trunk/HEAD
- Call menu Repository / Open in Repository Browser (the deleted branch is absent from the branches folder)
- In the repository browser, call menu Repository / Show Revision...
- Select the revision just before the deletion (the deleted branch reappears in the branches folder)
- Right-click on the deleted branch, select Copy in the menu and enter the same path for the destination
