I don't think so. Since the canonical "name" of an item in the repository is a combination of the full path and the rev number (^maindir/new_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with@123456) you can't update a path to a revision in which that path didn't exist. You would have to check out rev900 from the original path. You could try: Svn co -r 900 ^maindir/new_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with@123456 But, I'm not sure if that will work. BOb
