That is not how Subversion works.

If you deleted something locally and you want to get it back, then run
the Revert option locally. It should show that the file is missing
and if you select it, it will be put back. In Eclipse, just
right-click on the root of your project and choose the Team > Revert
option. The dialog that comes up will show you everything that is
modified locally. If you have other changes you do not want to
revert, be sure you do not select them in the dialog.
