Re: Cannot retrieve deleted file from revision

You need to use PEGGED revisions. The problem is that your repository
no longer has the file ContextualTestCase.java in it in the most
recent revision, so it cannot pull up the file in order to find the
revision. Try this:

$ svn cp -r11371
svn+ssh://snett@...unavco.org/pbo/.../webapp/ContextualTestCase.java_at_11371
./ContextualTestCase.java

The "@11371" refers to the way the repository looked at a particular
revision, so it can find ContextualTestCase.java. Then, the "-r 11371"
tells Subversion what revision you want to copy.
