OK. Example is clear.

I understand the problem of "working copy version relates to revision on
server".
That's not the problem to me.
What I do not understand: Why should I think in terms of "diffs" ?
This seems a little bit strange to me.
I just want that the content of foo.c from revision 5 replaces the content
of foo.c
in my working copy.
If I have access to the content of foo.c (from revision 5) I can replace it
locally.
So a crazy idea would be:
rm foo.c
wget -O foo.c <url to foo.c in revision 5>
Because this seems crazy I would prefer a simple svn command.
Maybe a svn get:
svn get -R 5 foo.c
The "get" command would retrieve the content of the file in the given
revision
and create/replace it locally. Nothing else.
What do you think ?
