When I do:

svn ls -r 2200 demo/hello/

I can see a bunch of files:

greetings.xml
something.xml
world.xml
zoo.xml

A hundred revisions later, the world.xml file doesn't exist any longer.

I thought that in order to see the contents of a file from SVN, I simply use svn cat and specify the revision. However, neither:

svn cat -r 2200 demo/hello/world.xml

nor:

svn cat demo/hello/world.xml@2200

work in my case; both return:

svn: E155010: The node '/home/user/src/demo/hello/world.xml' was not found.

So how do I read from SVN the contents of a file which existed long ago but doesn't exist any longer?
