Since then more commits where done and this can be a hard job to undo your changes. So how to undo the changes e.g. from your change in revision 120 when the actual revision is 140?

Go to your trunk workdir and use the following:

?View Code BASH
1

mvn merge -r 120:119 http://my.svn.repo/trunk/

The changes you made will be reverted. If there are some conflicts they will be shown.
Maybe it is a good idea to make a dry run via:

?View Code BASH
1

mvn merge --dry-run -r 120:119 http://my.svn.repo/trunk/

So no changes are really made but only shows them.

Of course you can use this for reverting merges.
