Maybe this belongs in the dev faq. I didn't see anything there or in the Subversion book.

I have three Python branches, trunk, release23-maint and release24-maint. In the (for example) release24-maint, what svn up command would I use to get to the 2.4.2 version? In cvs I'd use something like 'cvs up -r r242'. How

You have to know the branch URL and the revision number. Then do svn co -r 242 http://svn.example.org/svnroot/branch/ or svn up -r 242

do I get a list of tags? In cvs I'd do something like 'cvs log | less'.

Tags and branches in Subversion are just directories in the virtual SVN filesystem. So you can use svn ls, http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.list.html

or view the repository via ViewVC. These are python tags: http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/ . Here is the tag for 2.4.2: http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/r242/
