Newbie Checkout Question

[Sc...@Overnite.com]

Hello All, 

        I'm working along, and find I need to get an old version of a 
specific file...

        As I understand it, checkout rev -x  will check out the whole 
repository to a "new" working directory, at level -x. 

        Whereas I have a large repoitory, this takes a while.

        Once it is finished, I can pull in version -x into my editor, and 
save it in my "real" working directory.

        Is there an easier way to accomplish the same task?

        If I just need to replace a broken version of a program with one 
that I know worked a few versions back, how do I do this, without having 
to      check out the entire repo.

        Thanks in advance.

"svn cat" might be useful.

If you want to revert a file in your working copy back to an old state, "svn merge" with a reverse range is what you want; this must be an example in the book.
