reverting to a older version of a file

Sometimes it happens that you woud love to be able to revert someting to an older version. Which is quite impossible, because virtualy noone is doing regulary backups.

Here come the versioning system in handy.

just select the file you want to revert to an earlier version and select "show log"
You will then see the histroy of the file. Now you will also notices that it is wise to choose meaningful log messages, because then you will find the version you look for easier
Lets say we want to revert to revision 717. Then we have to select the file again and use "update to revision..."

If you do not commit your local file now, then you can also go back to the latest revision (718), by using "update to revision..." again.
