I'm a senior developer on the Liferay Por= tal project. We had a colo failure over the last day or so and lost the last 50-60 commits on our subversion repository (apparently, our backup strategy was not granular enough). Luckily I use Git locally using the git-svn conduit. I need to rewind my repository to an earlier revision and I'm hoping not to have to rebuild my local repo as the project is huge and takes me at least 16 hours to checkout using git-svn. I tried using: git svn reset --revision 49343 where 49343 is the last revision before the failure. But I'm at git version 1.6.3.3 which doesn't support the "reset" operat= ion. I tried various incantations of git reset --hard where matched the subversion revision obtained git svn find-rev 49343 But that didn't clear the svn indexes which still think it's at the much later revision. Does anyone know if there is an alternate way to rewind the "svn" portion of my repo to "forget" about the revs since 49343 so that I can restart the fetch process and catch up with the new stream (the git side seems to be more than ok with it)? Sincerely, Raymond Aug=C3=A9 Liferay Inc.
