Finding the revision of a deleted file.

I have been doing some work everyone's good friend Mr.Google.
Every blog / article I read all said the same thing;

Create a file with svn log
(svn log --verbose > svn.log)
Then grep / search the log for the file you're after.

It takes about 8 minutes just for the log file to be created - which makes it a slightly painful workflow - just to resurrect an old file.

Is there not a more convenient way to do this?

As always thanks in advance.
