You may want to review the sections of the book dealing with "Undoing Changes" and "Resurrecting Deleted Items", starting here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.undo If done correctly, this should not end up taking a lot of space in the repository. You may also want to upgrade to the current version of Subversion, 1.6.13; Subversion 1.4.x and earlier aren't supported anymore.
