There is no attic.

Very simple:

$ svn log -r 3416:0
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/spamassassin/trunk/fixpath.pl


IOW, choose a revision where the file still existed.  You should be able
to find the rev a file existed in by doing a grep for it in the
output of svn log -r http://.../trunk.  If the line starts with:
A -> the file was added there,
D -> it was deleted
M -> it was modified
