The delete and re-copy is "easy" but you will lose the history
associated with the original 162. Besides, it would behoove you to
learn/practice how to merge.
You can use 'svn copy -r 162 svn://path/to/file current_workspace' to
replace the HEAD with the old version.

I am using TortoiseSVN. You are correct in that I check it back
in, the version number is the HEAD... Also, each of the revision have
other files in them.
So, maybe the easiest way would be like you said, to delete the
file, update to revision 162. But, can I get 162 back into the truck?

unmerge 191, and unmerge 187, which will get me to 162?
Doing this would get you to what the file was at
revision 162, but when you commit that it will take the revision number
of the Head.
Cheers

Interesting... What if I need to go back 4 revisions...
The current revision number is 195 and revision I need to get to is
162...
Do I need to so an "unmerge" for each revision, i.e.
unmerge 195, unmerge 193, unmerge 191, and unmerge 187, which will get
me to 162?

1. Create next_year_branch from revision 3.
2. On the trunk, unmerge (do a reverse merge) revisions
2 and 3. Refer
