I think this is the same problem I had yesterday. Basically you cannot do

    svn merge -r 35:48 wiki.pl

but you have to do

    svn merge -r 35:48 wiki.pl wiki.pl

Is that a bug?

With regards to you original problem, if you need to (temporarily)
switch to an older revision of a file you can use update:

    svn update -r 35 wiki.pl

Note that the revision is not sticky as in CVS, co a "svn update" in the
current directory or a parent directory will revert to HEAD.
