can I checkout only a revision files ?
Is it possible to checkout only files (not patch, but entire files) from a specific revision ?
Thanks,
A.

You can use the -r parameter on a checkout or update to specify the
revision. You cannot checkout a single file, but you can checkout the
directory it is in with no files and then update just that one file:
$ # Checks out the directory, but with no files
$ svn co -r $rev --depth empty http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir
$ # Now update the file you want
$ cd localdir
$ svn update myfile
Or, you can checkout just a directory, but without the subdirectories:
$svn co -r $rev --depth files http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir

You cannot check out an individual file.
You can update specific files to a particular revision with svn update
--revision <num> FILE
You can export an individiual file at a particular revision with the
same syntax as update (just swap in "export" instead).
The output of svn help <command> can be very informative.

My NAnt build scripts have a task that will create a "delta" of the changed deployables to create a hotfix for example. Just pulling out the changed stuff from svn wouldn't work anyway... since new binaries need to be built most of the time.

Yes, I need only last changes, but entire files, not only diffs.

It seems, from your answer, that I need to write a script, getting output from svn log e requiring to svn last revision of changed files.

If you version and commit your classes, you need to get only changed one to patch you application server.
That's why I need last committed files.

That is the way subversion works. A revision number identifies a state of the complete repository and includes all files / folders / metadata etc.
So, are you asking for only the files changed from the previous revision?
If so, why would you want that? Subversion only sends diffs between client and server, so that is already efficient.
If you want a list of the changes you can use the 'log' command. Remember that metadata can also change in a revision, not just files/folders.
I am not aware that you can ask subversion to give you a working copy only containing the files updated by a particular rev but I fail to see how that would be useful...
If that does not help, try rephrasing your question and/or providing more background.

Right,
As others have said, you cannot 'svn co' files,
you can only checkout directories.
The ability to export files exists, but to export
only modified files is not built in, either.
I've been trying to learn Bash scripting better
and wrote the following.
If you're on Windows, install Cygwin.
It may not be exactly what you
want, because it exports the files
instead of checking them out.
You have to do something like...
svn log --verbose -r 2345 | grep M > files.txt
...then something like... (vi svncomod.sh)
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
REPO=$2
while read line
do
for ARG in $line; do
F=${ARG}
if [ "$F" != M ]
then
echo ${REPO}${F}
svn export ${REPO}${F}
fi
done
done < ${FILE}
... then...
chmod +x svncomod.sh
...and finally...
svncomod.sh files.txt http://path-to/repo

It retrieves entire repository at specified revision, not only the modified one...

Yes, use the --revision option for svn co.
