Not really, it alters the wc. svn st not empty, many added modified
files, etc. But you're right, the files are probably the same.
switching also alters the wc, and next the wc will not be on trunk anymore.

It's for deployment purpose.
I've a dedicated trunk wc for deployment, and for now it's more that
often in mixed version states.
ex:
554 deploy/file1
554 deploy/file2
554 deploy/file3
554 deploy/file4
554 deploy/dir2/file5
559 deploy/dir2/file6
554 deploy/dir2/file7
557 deploy/file8
554 deploy/file9
May be I try to misuse svn... But in this context:
I've updated (svn up) only the "deploy/dir2/file6" bringing it to
revision 559.
Now I would like to take a snapshot of all revision listed here, of
course I've much more file...
What I would like to do is a bit like David said:

No, because it alters the wc.
I would like to "rollback" this way :
cd deploy
svn up -r 544 .
svn up -r 557 deploy/file8
svn up -r559 deploy/dir2/file6
Now I've the wc, unmodified (svn st empty), still on trunk, and somewhat
matching the revision snapshot.
If I remember well this can be achieved with CVS tags?
cvs up -r tags

Yes with only one revision, not a mixed set of revision.
I'm using svn linux command line client.

You're on the way. :-)
Effectively if I want to update some files, so I only have to svn up -r
rev any file I want from the trunk. Especially, that way, I'm also able
to trac change in the deployment wc. svn st is still empty.
May be it's not the intended use of SVN, but how can I achieve that?

Sylvain.
