You can run 'svn up -r REV', where REV is some revision before the
changes, but that won't do quite what you think. By the time the
local mods and the exactly matching repos mods have been merged
together, the net effect is that there are no local mods in those
lines of code. To backup to a previous revision will rollback to the
old version, plus the user's remaining mods, but the fact that she
changed some lines that were also changed by someone else is already
lost.
