Try "svn ls svn://server/path/to/iris/assignment1_at_2980".
And then go read up on peg revisions.

(The problem is that svn is looking for the item which is named
"assignment1" in HEAD, but which may have had a different name at some
point in the past; as it turns out, this item didn't even exist in
revision 2980, which is why you're getting the error. This is all a
result of Subversion's attempt to support renaming files, which although
incomplete [that's another discussion] is better than nothing, ala CVS.)
