Hi all,
the "revert to this revision" option does some wonderful magic for us.
I would like to automate it in a batch, but I cannot figure out what it really does - "svn revert" does not take a revision parameter.
I know I can open the dialogue with the TortoiseSVNProc.exe, but I need to run it from commandline.
Many thanks in advance, and especially many, many thanks to Stefan Kueng and all the other developers !

There is a bit of confusion in the terminology. The svn command "revert" will undo local changes in your working copy, restoring a file as it was in the repository. The "revert to this revision" is actually a reverse merge, you should be able to do something along the lines of:
svn merge -r HEAD:29544 .
See the SVN book: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.undo
Kind regards,
