How is that different than noting that r242 corresponds to revision 39619 and executing: svn up -r 39619

svn up updates the working directory without changing base URL. Commits will go to the trunk (or whatever tag/branch it was before updating). svn switch updates and switch the base URL - commits will go to the tag/branch you are switching to. You can also merge some changes from another tag/branch: svn merge -r 2112:2121 http://svn.example.org/svnroot/anotherbranch/ (merge the diff between revisions 2121 and 2112 in anotherbranch into the current working directory).

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
