So sheepishly I ask if this is possible...
In trying to resolve a conflicted file, I overwrote all my changes with the most recent version from the repository and then committed. Now I'm realizing I wanted to save a lot of that. Does my local svn keep track of the changes? Are they at all recoverable?
Thanks... -S
svn only keeps the changes that you commit, if you never committed the changes then they will of been lost.
How did you resolve the conflict? There is a small chance that the files that svn creates when it detects a conflict, something like <filename>.r<revision_number> will still be there if you resolved the conflict manually.
No, the only recoverable data is the one you (or someone else) previously commited.
Sorry!
Unless the stuff you wanted was already in the repository I'm afraid you're out of luck. It's gone.
This is a reason to ALWAYS check svn diff before you run svn commit.
No svn clients I know keep a local history, but some IDEs (e.g. Eclipse do).
I just had the same problem and came across this via Google. Luckily, a few minutes after that sinking feeling, I checked my Windows recycle bin and had the file with a .mine suffix in there. I restored that file and got back several days worth of work.
