<a id="idp21061552"></a>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Reverts any local changes to a file or directory and
resolves any conflicted states. <span class="command"><strong>svn
revert</strong></span> will revert not only the contents of an
item in your working copy, but also any property
changes. Finally, you can use it to undo any scheduling
operations that you may have performed (e.g., files scheduled
for addition or deletion can be
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">unscheduled</span>”</span>).</p>

<div class="refsect1" title="Options">

<div class="refsect1" title="Examples">
<a id="idp21070096"></a>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>Discard changes to a file:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svn revert foo.c
Reverted foo.c
</pre>
</div>
<p>If you want to revert a whole directory of files,
use the <code class="option">--depth=infinity</code> option:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svn revert --depth=infinity .
Reverted newdir/afile
Reverted foo.c
Reverted bar.txt
</pre>
</div>
<p>Lastly, you can undo any scheduling
operations:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svn add mistake.txt whoops
A mistake.txt
A whoops
A whoops/oopsie.c
$ svn revert mistake.txt whoops
Reverted mistake.txt
Reverted whoops
$ svn status
? mistake.txt
? whoops
</pre>

<p><span class="command"><strong>svn revert</strong></span> is inherently
dangerous, since its entire purpose is to throw away
data—namely, your uncommitted changes. Once
you've reverted, Subversion provides <span class="emphasis"><em>no
way</em></span> to get back those uncommitted
changes.</p>
<p>If you provide no targets to <span class="command"><strong>svn
revert</strong></span>, it will do nothing. To protect you
from accidentally losing changes in your working
copy, <span class="command"><strong>svn revert</strong></span> requires you to
explicitly provide at least one target.</p>
