How to get add SVN specific revision changes

Question

I have a issue. Someone made changes awhile back and broke the code. I managed to track the date when the code was broken. Unfortunately, there were like 14 commits on that date. Each commit had like a dozen files. I like to start from the time where the code was good and incrementally add each commit to the good code until I find the commit that broke it. This is what I had done so far.

svn update -r {YYYY-MM-DD} // got me to the good build

svn update -r revisionNumber // I don't think this is right because I am getting build error and each commit is supposed have clean build

How do I incrementally add each commit ?

After a bunch of trial and error, I found the solution. Hopefully, this answer will help the next poor soul who has to look for other people problem.

svn checkout yourBranchURL

svn update -r {lastGoodDate}

svn merge -c revisionNumber yourBranchURL // repeat this step until you hit the right revision
