| <H1>Reverting a branch to a previous version</H1> |
| <p> |
| It is often useful to revert the contents of a branch to those of a specific version. For example, if your current branch contains changes that you no longer want to release you can revert all or a portion of a project to the contents of any version.</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Checkout into your workspace the contents from the branch that you want |
| to revert. </li> |
| <li>Select <strong>Compare With > Another Branch or Version</strong> on the |
| resource(s) that you want to revert. </li> |
| <li>From the tag selection dialog box select the version to which you want to |
| revert the branch.</li> |
| <li>When the compare editor opens, review the differences that are shown and |
| ensure that they are what you expected. </li> |
| <li>Select the root folder in the compare view and from the context menu select |
| <strong>Override and Update</strong>. After the operation is completed the |
| folder or project you compared against will have exactly the same contents |
| as the remote revision. </li> |
| <li>You can verify this by performing another comparison against the version. |
| (<strong>Note</strong>: That the CVS preference to <strong>Consider file contents |
| in remote comparisons</strong> in the |

| <b>Team > CVS > Synchronize/Compare</b></a> |
| preference page should be enabled for this to work.) </li> |
| <li>The comparison should report that there are no changes.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p CLASS="Head">Once your workspace contains the new contents, run your tests |
| then commit the changes to the branch.</p> |
