That's right.  In practice I bisect the date instead; that way I can issue the same command in all my svn source directories from sf.net and lbl.gov.  For example:

svn update -r "{2014-03-08 18:00}"

You don’t need to use that if you find it’s too complicated. Actually, "git bisect" is just some scripting on the top of "git checkout", I think.

I see what you meant! Sorry, it’s late here… You can bisect the svn rev number because they are increasing integers!
