Read up on peg revisions. What you want to do is:
svn list http://subversion/svn/ccap/CC_nohist@32459
svn co http://subversion/svn/ccap/CC_nohist@32459
Basically, the -r syntax asks svn to access a specific file identified
by its current name as it existed at a certain revision; the @ syntax
asks svn to access a specific file identified by the name it had at a
previous revision. Since the file has been deleted, it no longer has a
current name, so you need to use the peg syntax. The same holds true
for file renames--if you move foo to bar, you can get a revision before
the move either with "-r [x] bar" or "foo@[x]".
