I think you meant "svn checkout" not "svn cat"

If you need to have the files exist somewhere that can't be a working
copy but also need to make changes that will be committed back to the
repository, you might be able to checkout a working copy somewhere else
on the filesystem and then make a symlink from the location where the
file is expected to exist.
