use "svn delete --force" on unversioned copies, how to get my deleted files back

Question

Hi, I'm using SVN 1.4.2 from command line. I created a new folder called test, and this is my folder structure:

.
|-- figures_index.aux
|-- figures_index.dvi
|-- figures_index.log
|-- figures_index.lyx
|-- figures_index.pdf
|-- figures_index.ps
|-- figures_index.tex
|-- main.lyx
|-- test
`-- thesisMain.tex

1 directory, 9 files

All files apart from the new created folder test are under version control. I used the following command

$ svn del --force thesis_latex/trunk/main/test

Is there anyway to get the test file back? The svn revert didn't work.

Try merging from the revision where files exist:

svn merge -rPREV:HEAD URL PATH
