title: svn revert failing
body: <p>Why is svn's revert failing for me?</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to revert to version 6253.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ svn revert 6253
  Skipped '6253'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know this is the version I want because I typed the following in to the shell less than an hour ago:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ svn commit -m "before making change X"
  Sending        scala/Config.scala
  Sending        scala/Entity.scala
  Transmitting file data ............
  Committed revision 6253.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think something is wrong with the repository because I don't see my commit message when I type <code>svn log</code>. All I see is the first 3 commits, which end at <code>r5650</code>.</p>
