You should never use TortoiseProc exe as a command-line Subversion client  TortoiseProc should be utilized only for automating TortoiseSVN s GUI  See the  note in TortoiseSVN s Manual      Remember that TortoiseSVN is a GUI client  and this automation guide   shows you how to make the TortoiseSVN dialogs appear to collect user   input  If you want to write a script which requires no input  you   should use the official Subversion command line client instead    Use the Subversion command-line svn exe client  With the command-line client  you can   checkout a working copy in REV revision    svn checkout --revision REV https   svn example com svn MyRepo trunk   svn checkout https   svn example com svn MyRepo trunk  REV  update your local working copy to REV revision   svn update --revision REV export  i e  download  a file or a development branch in REV revision    svn export --revision REV https   svn example com svn MyRepo trunk  svn export https   svn example com MyRepo trunk  REV    You may notice that with svn checkout and svn export you can enter REV number as --revision REV argument and as trailing  REV after URL  The first one is called operative revision  and the second one is called peg revision  Read SVNBook for more information about peg and operative revisions concept

Any reason for using TortoiseProc instead of just the normal svn command line   I d use   svn checkout svn   somepath 1234 working-directory    to get revision 1234

You could try  TortoiseProc exe  command checkout  rev 1234   to get revision 1234   I m not 100  sure the  rev option is compatible with checkout  but I got the idea from some TortoiseProc documentation

svn checkout to revision where your repository is on another server  Use svn log command to find out which revisions are available   svn log   Which prints   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r762   machines   2012-12-02 13 00 16 -0500  Sun  02 Dec 2012    2 lines  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r761   machines   2012-12-02 12 59 40 -0500  Sun  02 Dec 2012    2 lines   Note the number r761   Here is the command description   svn export http   url-to-your-file 761  tmp filename   I used this command specifically   svn export svn ssh   machines mywebsite com home1 oct calc calcFeatures m 761 calcFeatures m   Which causes calcFeatures m revision 761 to be checked out to the current directory

It seems that you can use the repository browser  Click the revision button at top-right and change it to the revision you want  Then right-click your file in the browser and use  Copy to working copy     but change the filename it will check out  to avoid a clash
