If you want to view readme.txt in your repository without checking it out:
$ svn cat http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/readme.txt This is a README file. You should read this.
If your working copy is out of date (or you have
local modifications) and you want to see the
HEAD
revision of a file in your
working copy, svn cat will
automatically fetch 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 Latest revision fresh from the repository!
