How to get info on a deleted file?

[sjohnson <sj...@parisgroup.net>]

Greetings,
 
If I'm interested in viewing and/or restoring a file that I've deleted
from my repository, how do I get it back?  I realize that I can grab it
by revision number or date if I have that information, but what if I
don't?  Is there any way to determine the last revision in which a
deleted file appeared?
 
What I expected to be able to do was a 'svn log deletedfile' and/or 'svn
status deletedfile' but neither of these seem to work.  Doesn't that
sort of thing work in CVS?  Isn't SVN supposed to do at least everything
that CVS can do?  This missing functionality seems like a flaw in SVN.
Or is there a "better" way I don't know about?
 
TIA for any help.
