Subversive deleted a file that was not marked for deletion

Question

hello, subversive deleted a file that a needed really badly, i am looking for ways to retrieve it. here are the steps that i followed:

• refreshed my local project folder
• synchronized to my svn repository
• only changes found were local files
• i chose commit, but obtained a error that the file was already in the repository
• on that file, i did override and commit, then i obtained an error that negative revisions were not authorized. it then did not give me an option, deleted my local file and that was it.

is there any way that i can retrieve my local file? help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Answer 1

Can you do a clean checkout and then revert back to where the file was?

Answer 2

If your local file was not in the repository, and it has been deleted, I'm afraid it's beyond version-control and you'll have to try normal data recovery methods to get it back. It sounds like the equivalent of rming a file you did not back up.

Answer 3

Could you retrieve it from the recycle bin? or use some nice recovery tool to retrieve it?
What OS are you using?
