Scan the output of svn log for the file in question. It's creation, all
modifications, and it's ultimate deletion will be in the log. Once you
find out where it was, you can bring it back from the dead if you wish
with an svn copy using a peg revision like:
svn copy https://server/svn/path/to/file@last_rev_in_which_it_existed
https://server/svn/path/to/file
Or if you just want to look at it without restoring it, just svn cat
https://server/svn/path/to/file@last_rev_in_which_it_existed
