The trick is to use the --stop-on-copy (to stop at branch point) -v (to show patsh) options of the svn log command: $ svn log --stop-on-copy -v . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r3 | stsp | 2010-04-09 22:25:24 +0100 (Fri, 09 Apr 2010) | 1 line Changed paths: M /branch/beta a commit on the branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r2 | stsp | 2010-04-09 22:24:57 +0100 (Fri, 09 Apr 2010) | 1 line Changed paths: A /branch (from /trunk:1) creating branch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ So /branch was copied from /tr...@1. > Branch is similar.

Find the revision at which the branch was created using "svn log" as above. Then copy the old version of the branch on top of the current version: svn rm ^/branch svn copy ^/tr...@12345 ^/branch See also http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.undo Stefan
