That's correct Kerri. Just for the record, the procedure you describe (except for the final commit of course) is made easily available by TortoiseSVN from the log dialog and it can be very handy when it's needed. I take the opportunity to add it my wishlist for Versions. On TortoiseSVN this operation is called "Revert to revision", which is the correct name, IMHO. The use of the name "Revert to revision" in Versions is incorrect and very misleading as the operation only performs an update to a previous revision. After such an operation you can't commit and any update will get you back to HEAD, so this operation can't sensibly be called "revert". This operation should be called "Update to revision" instead, as it is done in TortoiseSVN, because that's what it does.
