svn is still new to me (all of us?) and it'd be nice to have an example 
command for that. svn revert doesn't seem to do the job without locally 
modified files.

Is it svn update --revision ...?

Thanks.

Only because I've already committed part of the change (the Makefiles) and 
therefore the build was already broken. I know I should have done it 
differently but everything's easy in hindsight.

That's what I tried to do - the problem (as I saw it) with svn move is that 
you have to have know that the moved file will still work in it's new 
location and there were quite a few makefile changes that I had to test with 
the files in place. Doesn't svn move commit to the repository immediately? 
(If not, that is the source of my confusion.)
