Sure. Jack reads the commit logs, and sees that Jane's Wednesday
change created revision 53 when she committed. Revision 53 is not
only the 53rd state of the repository, but it also represents a unique
patch applied to the repository.

Jack simply applies her change to his working copy using 'svn merge':

    svn merge -r52:53 path/to/project my/working/copy/path

This means, "take the differences between revision 52 and 53 of
path/to/project, and apply these differences as local modifications to
my/working/copy/path."
