item in your working copy, but also any property
changes. Finally, you can use it to undo any scheduling
operations that you may have done (e.g. files scheduled
for addition or deletion can be
“<span class="quote">unscheduled</span>”).</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id420370"></a><h2>Alternate Names</h2><p>None</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id420380"></a><h2>Changes</h2><p>Working copy</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id420390"></a><h2>Accesses Repository</h2><p>No</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id420400"></a><h2>Options</h2><pre class="screen">

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

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
