You could just do a fresh checkout and then untar your backup onto that sandbox. HOWEVER: You need to checkout the revision that was current when the backup was made, and not a later that has committed changes to the files in the sandbox. You'd undo those by unpacking the tar file. Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words." From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@*.org> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:29:21 -0800
