cannot retrieve delete file withou URL

It might work as advertised, I just probably did not see the ad:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/www/propaganda.html  was deleted in
r13763 and then later created again.

If I try to fetch the old version while I am standing in a wc of the
trunk inside the www directory I get an error message

svn cat -r 13762 propaganda.html
svn: Unable to find repository location for 'propaganda.html' in revision 13762

I can retrieve it using the URL though:
svn cat -r 13762 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/www/propaganda.htm
