[TSVN] Permanently bringing old versions forward

First off, let me say that I love TortoiseSVN. I used subversion from the
command line and hated it. Liked the server and its improvements over CVS
but the command line wasn't a fun way to interact with it (the server).

TSVN has changed all that and the two (Subversion + ToroiseSVN) absolutely
kick as. So thanks to the TSVN folks for the outstanding and invaluable
tool.

Ok, now for my question...

I've got a file that has undergone changes over several commits. Something
like:

  r50 - file created
  r51 - file changed
  r52 - file changed
  r53 - file changed

What I want to do is return to r50 permanently.

It's easy to temporarily revert to r50 (I just do an "update to" r50 on the
file and, voila, I get r50 back). But that's not a permanent change since
any future "update" of development folder in which that file is contained
will just return that file back to r53 (the latest "head" of the deveopment
folder).

So my question is: how do I get r50 back and make it permanent. In other
words I want to return the file-contents of r50 and then commit that
original pristine file back into the repository as the latest version (r54
in this case).

This seems like such a common use-case that I'm feeling like sheepish for
now seeing how to do this. I tried a merge of r50 into r53 for that
particular file and this didn't do it either.

Can anybody help?

Thanks!
