How to undo SVN changes..?

I'm finding lots of similar questions, but nothing exactly like this so I'm not sure how to resolve it.

I'm just trying to update the readme.txt file in a tagged version of my WordPress plugin. I wasn't thinking correctly, and I ran the following commands.

svn up
svn cp trunk tags/1.1.5

I was thinking it would just take any new/modified files in the trunk directory (which in this case would only be that one file) and copy it into my tagged version directory. Instead, it copied the entire /trunk directory into my tagged version directory, so when I would run svn stat I would get this.

A + tags\1.1.5\trunk
A + tags\1.1.5\trunk\readme.txt

And when I look at the local directory I can see that new directory was in there, but that's not what I wanted, of course.

At this point I just deleted that directory back out via my file browser, and now when I run svn stat I end up with a whole bunch lines like this...

! tags\1.1.5\trunk
! tags\1.1.5\trunk\assets

I have a line like that for every file/directory that was deleted, which makes sense, but now I'm just a little scared to continue. I really don't know SVN very well, and the only time I ever use it is when I'm updating WP plugins, which really isn't that often.

Anyway, I haven't run svn ci, so the updates weren't pushed to the remote SVN repo yet, but I'd like to get my local stuff back to the way it was before I ever made that original copy mistake. I tried svn revert trunk, but that doesn't seem to have done anything at all. I also tried svn revert tags\1.1.5 and that gave me a message Skipped 'tags1.1.5' and doesn't seem to have actually done anything.

Any information about how I can simply undo everything I've done here, or what the best procedure is to fix my screw up here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This did the trick.

svn revert -R tags

As far as I understand your post, your mentioned tags- and trunk directories are working copies. You said you didn't commit it yet. So you could delete your complete tags-directory not only tags/1.1.5 using your file browser and then check it out again.

PS: svn information is in version > 1.7 in the root directory of your working copy. So deleting 1.1.5 causes svn to tell you it's missing it.
