问题
I have a file as shown below in an SVN repo that I would like to revert to a previous version. What is the way to do this in SVN? I want only downgrade this particular file to an older version, not the whole repo.
Thanks.
$ svn log myfile.py

If you just want the old file in your working copy:
svn up -r 147 myfile.py
If you want to rollback, see this "How to return to an older version of our code in subversion?".
回答2:
svn cat takes a revision arg too!
svn cat -r 175 mydir/myfile > mydir/myfile
回答3:
svn revert filename
this should revert a single file.
回答4:
For a single file, you could do:
svn export -r <REV> svn://host/path/to/file/on/repos file.ext
You could do svn revert <file> but that will only restore the last working copy.

So far all answers here seem to have significant downsides, are complicated (need to find the repo URI) or they don't do what the question probably asked for: How to get the Repo in a working state again with that older version of the file.
svn merge -r head:[revision-number-to-revert-to] [file-path] is IMO the cleanest and simplest way to do this. Please note that bringing back a deleted file does not seem to work this way[1]. See also the following question: Better way to revert to a previous SVN revision of a file?
[1] For that you want svn cp -r [rev-number] [repo-URI/file-path]@[rev-number] [repo-URI/file-path] && svn up, see also What is the correct way to restore a deleted file from SVN?
回答6:
The best way is to:
svn merge -c -RevisionToUndo ^/trunk
This will undo all files of the revision than simply revert those file you don't like to undo. Don't forget the dash (-) as prefix for the revision.
svn revert File1 File2
Now commit the changes back.
回答7:
I found it's simple to do this via the svn cat command so that you don't even have to specify a revision.
svn cat mydir/myfile > mydir/myfile
This probably won't role back the inode (metadata) data such as timestamps.
回答8:
You want to do
svn merge -r [revision to revert from]:[revision to revert to] [path/filename]
Once you do that, you will have that revision of the file in a committable state. Commit the file.
回答9:
If it's only a couple of files, and if you're using Tortoise SVN, you can use the following approach:
- Right click on your source file, and select "TortoiseSVN" -> "Show log".
- Right click on a revision in the log, and select "Save revision to...".
- Let the old revision overwrite your current file.
- Commit the overwritten source file.

Just adding on to @Mitch Dempsy answer since I don't have enough rep to comment yet.
svn export -r <REV> svn://host/path/to/file/on/repos --force
Adding the --force will overwrite the local copy with the export and then you can do an svn commit to push it to the repository.
回答11:
surprised no one mentioned this
without finding out the revision number you could write this, if you just committed something that you want to revert, this wont work if you changed some other file and the target file is not the last changed file
svn merge -r HEAD:PREV file
回答12:
An alternate option for a single file is to "replace" the current version of the file with the older revision:
svn rm file.ext
svn cp svn://host/path/to/file/on/repo/file.ext@<REV> file.ext
svn ci
This has the added feature that the unwanted changes do not show up in the log for this file (i.e. svn log file.ext).
回答13:
If you want to roll back an individual file from a specific revision and be able to commit, then do:
svn merge -c -[OldRev#] [Filename]
ie. svn merge -c -150 myfile.py
Note the negative on the revision number
回答14:
sudo svn revert filename
this is the better way to revert a single file
