Right, "svn export" is for exporting entire directories. If you want
to see the contents of a file, use "svn cat". If you want multiple
files, issue "svn cat" multiple times. Like this:

svn cat http://pipo/molo/toto.java > toto.java
svn cat http://pipo/molo/moto.java > moto.java
svn cat http://pipo/molo/molo.java > molo.java
