It depends on the state of your file.

* If your locally modified file received a clean merge ('svn status'
reports it as just 'M'), then just 'svn up -rX' where X is the old
version of the file. Your local mods will be preserved, whether
back-dating or up-dating.

* If your locally modified file is in a state of conflict, then you've
probably got conflict markers mixed in with your changes. You don't
have to resolve the conflicts by hand. Remember that you also have 3
fulltexts sitting in your working copy. Just copy the '.mine' file on
top of your working file.
