I deleted a file from my Eclipse work space but that file is in SVN repository. Could any one help me to get my deleted file from SVN without using the command line?
There's a simpliest way to recover the file with Eclipse+SVN only.
Go to SVN Repositories view, find a folder your file was located, make a right click and choose Show History. You will see the list of commits to THIS FOLDER in the History view. Please make sure it's switched to Remote Revisions. From the list of commits find a commit that deleted the file. In the pane below there's a list of files involved with this commit - you can find deleted files with minus sign. Double click will open this file in editor...
If you've deleted the file in Eclipse, Eclipse has told Subversion to mark the file for deletion. This means the next commit will delete the file. You'll have to do a revert.
If you've deleted this file via Internet Explorer or some other file browser, and didn't tell Subversion, then the file isn't marked for deletion. Simply updating the file will bring it back.
This is where the command line client sings. With the command line client, I could tell Subversion to update or revert a nonexistent file. With a GUI, I would first have to select the file, then tell Subversion what to do. But without a file, I can't do anything.
Easiest solution: Recreate the file. The contents are not important. It can be empty or contain a dirty limerick for all you care. You're basically making a file you can select with your file browser.
Then, you can select the file and tell Subversion and/or Eclipse via the Team menu to revert it. This way, it doesn't matter how the file was deleted. Subversion will restore the file back to its original checked out version.
Along the lines of Bryn's solution, using Subclipse, find the delete 'D' entry for the file in SVN history, right-click and do "Copy..." which will then ask you to specifiy a location in your Eclipse workspace. Click OK, it will probably take a little while, and that's it.
I first tried "Export...", but that didn't work for me, seems like subclipse is looking in HEAD, even though an older revision was selected.

I fail to commit a .so library file using subclipse
I am developing an android application and in that I am trying to add some .so files from UlraliteJ framework. When I googled, I could see that .so files are ignored by SVN by default. So, I uncomment the line global-ignores in the config file of /.subversion folder as per this example
http://blog.keksrolle.de/2010/03/01/svn-ignores-file-extension-so-by-default-which-corrupted-my-build.html.
But, even then I was not able to commit them.
After that, I found the above post, so following that, I manually added .so files to version control and they have been added now.
But, now my problem is that they are not getting committed to SVN still. It fails with the following message,
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: File not found: transaction '1635-1c5', path '/SVNfolder/trunk/OS_Android/SVNProject/libs/armeabi/libmlcrsa12.so'
If any body knows the answer, can you please share it with me
Here is my solution to this annoying problem using Eclipse and SVN
select the "SVN Repository Exploring" perspective.
choose the right folder where the .so files should be in the "SVN Repositories" view.
right click and choose the "import" menu
in the pop out dialog, choose a local path which containing the .so files, input the commit comment and hit OK button.
now the .so file are at the correct position.
Finally, I am able to commit after a day of effort. Thanks to this guy,
SVN: Folder already under version control but not comitting?
All you need to do is, take a back up of your project. Go to the problematic folder. In my case it was armeabi folder inside /lib of my project. View hidden files. There will be a .svn folder. Delete that.
Then revert back the .so files, clean the project. Add them back to the version control. Now along with the files, one more file named svn-commit.tmp.save is also created. Don't worry. Just commit the whole folder. Thus it is committed now.
How ever, I din't exactly know the need for deleting .svn folder.
Is it possible to exclude/ignore some specific files from synchronization with SVN that are present in svn ??
These files are already present in SVN, and I believe from other posts that the rightClick->Team->SVN:IGnore only works for files that are not there in svn.
I have read other posts but can not find the answer.
Reason : we have some files that have some specific content in SVN while some other content in local workspace, People by mistake are checking in theirversion of these config files to SVN.
Perhaps there is an easier way to do it, but following should work:
Optional: save your file somewhere, in case you can't recreate it
Open 'SVN Repositories' view, navigate to location of file you don't want to be in SVN, right click on it and choose 'Delete'. This would remove file from repository
Synchronize. You would see file removal as incoming change. Accept it. This would remove file from your local file system
Recreate file in your local file system, or copy from step (1). File would show as outgoing change if you synchronize at this point.
Now you should be able to do 'Right click->Team->Add to SVN Ignore' on it. Do this and commit property change on the folder.
TortoiseSVN has a option in the Windows-context-menu by right-clicking on the file to unversioncontrol and add to ignore list. The action should also be recogniced by the plugin, even if the plugin menu has not this option.
If you do not want to use Tortoise for this, a simple workaround would be:
remove the files from the folder(store them temporaly else where)
commit, the removed files.
if you are not on the commiting computer update now
paste back in the removed files and add them to the ignore list.
Is there any way to have Subversion (in Eclipse) ignore a specific file. I've tried going to Team --> Synchronize with Repository, and the Mark as Merged option isn't available. I don't think it's possible, but does anyone have any ideas?
Not sure about eclipse and what ignoring file has to do with marking as merged, but what I'd do is svn pe svn:ignore <path> and add the file there.
After having refreshed your project with the repo, you just have to right click your file and "add to svn ignore" in the Team menu.
The option is available only if your file is not already in the repo.
If your file already exists in the repo, you will have to delete it first and recreate it as if it is a new one.
You can ignore only a single file or setup a mask.
It sounds to me as if the file is already added, which is a state it can't be ignored from. You need to remove it first, and you need to synchronise it fully first such that the server and client views of the file are equal.
You can do this by reverting the file, but keep a local copy so you can fix the file after it has been deleted from both sides (you'll delete the client copy, and will have to put it back again). After that, delete the file from the client side, commit, synchronise, put the file back, and then mark it as ignored from the SVN team menu (do not 'add' the file).
I deleted a bunch of files from my env and committed the changes.
Of course I now want one of them back.
What is the best way to bring the ONE file back out of the revision?
I have brought the file up from View History on the package (it is a java file), but don't see a way to bring it back short of copy and paste.
Eclipse 3.7.0, subclipse 1.6
UPDATE
It looks like Antonio Pérez and qor72 solutions both accomplish the goal. Antonio's can be done in eclipse but the number of reverts can be large. Also merge requests that one commit open changes.
I like qor72's solution. To access copy in this scenario:
look at the history and find the deleted file.
right click on file name and choose copy.
select the original directory.
OK.
What I have done in the past is ressurrect the file per the SVN documentation, for example:
$ svn copy ^/calc/trunk/real.c#807 ./real.c
Then readd/commit and off you go.
Probably the subclipse client would allow a simple way of doing it. But if you'd like to give a try to the command line client.
$ cd <working_copy_path>
$ svn merge repo_url[#M] repo_url[#M-1]
M is the revision where you committed the deleted files. And you should get back all the files you deleted as added files in your working copy. Then
$ svn commit <your_file_to_be_recovered>
$ svn revert (to remove the rest of added file that you don't need back)
Further info on the svn merge command.
you can follow these steps to get it back
1. Identify the folder in the project which contained the deleted files.
2. Right click the folder, select Team -> Merge
Within Merge Pop up Window
3. On the URL tab, Browse and select the "repository resource to merge with" i.e the same folder in the repository.
4. Select Revisions radio button,
5. Click Browse button to select revisions.
6. Select the revisions which you want to be restored ( select the revision wherein you deleted the files / folders )
7. Enable Reversed merge.
8. Click Preview and check that it shows an entry for the file / folder which you plan to restore.
9. Click OK
10. Eclipse now switches to SVN Merge and with the Synchronize view.
11. In the Synchronize view, right click the files you want and select Accept
12. In the Synchronize view, use the Synchronize SVN icon to switch from SVN Merge to SVN, where you can see the restored file as an outgoing change.
13. Right click the file -> Team -> commit to check in the file again to the repository.
Please note: This is a question about the Eclipse plugin Subversive, and not about Subversion itself. Please do not change the title to be about 'Subversion'.
So I deleted a file that I really shouldn't have.
I've found various approaches to restoring the file outside of Eclipse/Subversive, but I was wondering if there was a best/easiest-to-use/history-restoring way to restore the file using the Subversive tool.
Select the folder in the project that contained the deleted files.
Right click, select Team > Merge...
On the URL tab, set the URL to the server URL for the same folder.
In Revisions, select Revisions and enter a range that includes the deletion, e.g. 1000-1001, or use the Browse button to select them.
In Revisions, enable Reversed merge
Click Preview and check that it shows an Added entry for the files you plan to restore.
Click OK - Eclipse switches to SVN Merge in the Synchronize view.
In the Synchronize view, right click the files you want and select Accept
In the Synchronize view, use the Synchronize SVN icon to switch from SVN Merge to SVN, where you can see the restored file as an outgoing change.
If you have already submitted the remove then it's now time to roll back to the earlier version. In Subversion you do that with "svn merge", where you merge "backwards" from the current to the previous version.
Say you did this:
$ svn rm file.txt
$ svn ci -m "don't need that file"
Committed revision 1325.
Now you want to undo this and restore the old revision 1324, i.e. the state just before the remove (the dot is for 'current directory'):
$ svn merge -r1325:1324 .
If you are unsure you can do a dry-run first, where svn will print the output of the command, but not actually do anything:
$ svn --dry-run merge -r1325:1324 .
The result should indicate that the file is being added (again):
A file.txt
you could switch to revision where this file was exist. Edit/copy this file and switch back to the head revison and commit it here.
Also you could merge changes beetween two revisons - head and last revision file was exist in repository and apply changes to your working copy.
Just "Show History" on the folder, file was existing in. Then click through the history and find the lost file.
I guess you're hoping to not resort to the command line but in case it's useful as a last resort, see this question for how to do it from the command line: What's a simple way to undelete a file in subversion?
Easier: try to commit, Eclipse will show you the dialog with the changed files, click on the one you want to delete with the right button and pick "Revert".
I had a similar issue, I deleted a set of files related to a feature that after a couple of months I want to recover.
The most straightforward solution in my case was to check out in a separate directory the whole project as it was before the file were deleted.
To do this from the Eclipse Repository View go to your project, right click "Check Out As...", in the modal window write the destination folder, select a suitable date of the past in which the deleted file existed (weird, my plugin does not give the possibility to choose a given revision..) and check out.
Now you can easily search, find and copy-paste the files you want to recover.
