AFAIK, svn up -r '{date}' will actually update it to the latest revision as
of that date. It is equivalent to svn up -r <rev> where <rev> is the latest
rev for that date.

If you had different files at different revisions, then you might want to
update them individually (as per Ryan's example to update a particular
file).
