Revert all deleted files in SVN

SVN doesn't seem to let you revert multiple files with a wildcard (or say if you deleted a whole directory tree in error)?

This works:

svn status|awk '/^D/{system("svn revert " $2)}'

There's probably another way....

system is a GNU awk thing. If your awk doesn't have that, then print and pipe through xargs:

svn status|awk '/^D/{print $2}'|xargs svn revert
