The Subversion VCS does not have an explicit undelete command to restore files after commiting deletions.

# pwd
~/svn_work/repo/blog/sandbox
# svn delete fun.txt
D         fun.txt
# svn commit --message 'Delete fun file.' ./

To accomplish an undelete operation, first examine the directory log and select the desired commit revision of the (deleted) file to be restored.

# svn log -verbose --limit 5 ./

Delete fun file.

...

Here, in this example, revision 72 of fun.txt is selected to be restored. It is necessary to copy the file by repository URL because a deleted file does not exist in the work area.

# svn copy https://host/repo/blog/sandbox/fun.txt@72 ./
A         fun.txt
# svn commit --message 'Restore fun.txt file from revision 72.' ./

This operation could be performed by a single copy command, specifying the URL and bypassing the work area:

# svn copy --message 'Restore fun.txt file from revision 72.' \
      https://host/repo/blog/sandbox/fun.txt@72 \
      https://host/repo/blog/sandbox/fun.txt

The primary advantage of copying to the work area first is to undelete a group a files. If the files are first copied to the work area, then the commit of all undeleted files will be a single atomic operation.

“Ezra Red” is the code name for the new HDL revising and rewriting application that I am developing as a personal project. After several weeks of studying the Netbeans platform, I have begun a branch of my original HDL rewriting application that will utilize the Netbeans RCP instead of a custom command-line interface and a custom Swing GUI. Using the Netbeans Platform as a basis for my application will allow me to focus more on discipline specific coding, such as the language parsing and tree rewriting of an HDL project; and not spend so much time concerning myself with the presentation and usability of the application. To track what functionality needs to be implemented, I have created a Task List.
