SVN reverse merge?

If your repo was in pristine condition at revision 497, then I think you’re correct, you need to do a:

svn merge -r HEAD:497 .

That merge command will only change files in your working copy, so remember to also commit the changes to update HEAD in the repo.

After you do the merge, followed by the commit, try comparing revision 497 to HEAD and they should be identical.
