So how does one restore deleted items using the command line client?

Given

$ svn co file:///home/pm/repo -d wc
$ cd wc
$ svn rm foo
D foo
$ svn ci
Deleting /home/pm/wc/foo
Commit succeeded.
$ svn up

how do I restore the file foo?

The only way I have found is to update to a revision that includes
foo, 'svn copy' it to some temporary name, commit it, update and then
'svn move' it back to its original name; the commit in the middle
makes this unacceptable. Can I 'svn copy' directly from the file's
repository URL, and what does that look like?
