revert

Hello,

I have a file as shown below in an SVN repo that I would like to revert to a previous version. What is the way to do this in SVN? I want only downgrade this particular file to an older version, not the whole repo.

Thanks.

$ svn log myfile.py

What would it take to get auto-revert-mode to actually work in my dired buffer?
