Tip
If your working copy is out of date (or if you have local modifications) and you want to see the HEAD revision of a file in your working copy, svn cat automatically fetches the HEAD revision when you give it a path.
$cat foo.c
This file is in my local working copy and has changes that I've made. $svn cat foo.c
