How to revert an entire SVN repostiory to a prior version using Tortoise SVN (GUI)?

My SVN repository needs to be rolled back to the state it was in 2 weeks ago.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  I am using Tortoise SVN as a GUI interface.

The repository is on a remote Linux machine, and I don't have SSH access - so whatever I do needs to be done from my local Windows machine.

Thanks,

Hi johanntagle,

Thanks for the information.  I found something similar to what you are suggesting, but it uses the "merge" feature rather than "Update to Revision".

Is there a difference?

Here is a link to the site I found:  http://aralbalkan.com/1381

Thanks.
I won't be surprised if "update to revision" actually uses merge.  Basically, you'll be doing the changes to your local working copy, then commit to the repository.  You won't actually be rolling back your repository to it's state two weeks ago - the commits from the past two weeks will remain there.  But the state of your current code should be like that of two weeks ago.  Actually better this way so that you can review some of your commits for the past two weeks and put them back to your application if needed.
Thank you.  This is perfect.
