In order to solve this, we must move files that are deleted into an
_deleted subfolder, so that the files can take place in commits. A
recover will move the file back.

Is this just a "virtual" subfolder that never exists in the dumpfile? In principle you should be able to recover a deleted file from an earlier Subversion revision with something like "svn copy [EMAIL PROTECTED] recovered_location".

Nope, the svn copy is exactly what is happening right now. But the problem is, that in VSS deleted files are changed also, if one share is still active. If you recover a file, VSS will recover to the latests version of the file and not to the version it had before the delete. Actually recovering should be something like, recover + pin if the file was modified in between.

The _deleted subfolder would be a real folder in svn. We would move the file into the _deleted subfolder, change it when a change happens through a share and move it back if it is recovered.

The other alternative is to recover by copying of one of the active shares.
