My rails project is at version 52. I want to revert the whole app to  
version 50, effectively ignoring v 51+52

I ran  
“svn update -r 50” in my working copy. Success.  
I have done some work on version 50, but when i try commiting it tells  
me that the file im commiting is out of date.

DOes anyone know the solution?

Thanks  
Chris

Thanks Lim, bu I have just done what you said exactly, but on the last  
“svn up” it just updates to r 52 again!! Here is the command text,it  
starts at version 52:

1061:s213:~/code/MachineLogger\> svn up -r 50  
U app/models/daily\_log.rb  
U app/controllers/log\_machines\_controller.rb  
U app/views/log\_machines/view\_summary.rhtml  
U public/stylesheets/scaffold.css  
Updated to revision 50.  
1062:s213:~/code/MachineLogger\> svn commit -m “Reverting to 50”  
1063:s213:~/code/MachineLogger\> svn up  
U app/models/daily\_log.rb  
U app/controllers/log\_machines\_controller.rb  
U app/views/log\_machines/view\_summary.rhtml  
U public/stylesheets/scaffold.css  
Updated to revision 52.

…it goes back up to 52!! Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks  
Chris
