Need to restore a deleted branch in Subversion

Tags:

I have two working copies of a Subversion repository, one of the trunk, and one of a branch I created.

I accidentally deleted the branch in a repository browser. How do I restore the branch? Is there a way to undo the most recent commit for the whole repository?

Can I recover deleted local branch in git?

Yes, it is possible. By using git reflog find the SHA1 for the commit at the tip of your deleted branch, then just git checkout [sha]. And once you're at that commit, you can just git checkout -b [branchname] to recreate the branch from there.

What work is restored when the deleted branch is recovered?

What work is restored when the deleted branch is recovered? The files which were stashed and saved in the stash index list will be recovered back. Any untracked files will be lost. Also, it is a good idea to always stage and commit your work or stash them.

Here is a solution if you are using TortoiseSVN:

  1. In the repo browser, navigate to the parent folder of the folder you deleted (e.g. "branches").
  2. Right click on the folder and do a "Show Log."
  3. Find the revision where you deleted the specific branch folder.
  4. Select the revision immediately before that revision.
  5. Right click and choose "Browse Repository." You are now looking at the state of the repository at the point in time right before you deleted the branch.
  6. Find the branch folder that you deleted, select, right-click, and choose "Copy to..."
  7. You can now copy the deleted folder to either a new name or even the same name.
