I'm one of the developers on SQL Source Control, and I just thought I'd explain a little more in depth what's going on. When you restore the database backup (which essentially takes your local database back in time), SQL Source Control doesn't know that you've done that specific action. All it knows is that your local database has been changed. Therefore, the retrieve tab will be empty (as you observed, because the SVN repository hasn't changed, so there's nothing to retrieve), and the commit tab will show all the changes that restoring the backup has made to the database. These changes can then be committed (on the commit tab), or undone (on the undo dialog). Alternatively you can unlink and relink which will give you a new "Working Base", with the effects that you observed. If you just want to see the differences the commit tab is the easiest way to do it, but it's very confusing to look at (because the changes are the wrong way round). You can then use commit button to change the SVN repo to be the state of the backup, or you can use undo to change the database to be the state of the repository. Why both of these work is quite confusing UX though, so we recommend unlinking and re-linking. The workaround Pete gave of deleting the offending files from the working base isn't quite right. Instead for step 2 you need to use TortoiseSVN to update the working base to the SVN revision that the database backup corresponds to. The reason why deleting the offending files won't work is that SQL Source Control will notice that they're missing, and automatically put the files back again, which isn't what you want. / comments

Aah, that would explain it. Can you please give me the details for how you've configured vim to be your text editor, so that I can reproduce the issue here and looking into fixing it. Thanks! / comments
