Start by checking out the version with the largest portion of the files
you want - probably the head of the trunk or a branch. Then selectively
update the parts you want to earlier revisions. You could do that in
a script or batch file if you plan to repeat it, but you'd probably be
better off branching if you expect to re-use this combination.

You can "svn copy" your current working copy to a tag - or to start a
new branch. Your working copy does not have to match any existing
revision when you do this.

If you branch, you'd just switch to the branch and work normally. What
does clearcase do when you commit to something you specified as a
backrev of a file?
