No worries.

As Josh already said, you should avoid using `svn delete` if you don't
actually intend to remove a file or directory from version control, and
you can use `svn revert` to roll back uncommitted changes. It's a good
idea to use `svn status` frequently to verify that your local checkout
is in the state you intended. (See `svn help status` if you need help
deciphering its output.)

To repair a path's history after the fact, you do what `svn help merge`
calls a "reverse merge". This amounts to merging in an older change so
that the history of the branch tip bypasses the broken change(s).
