without checking it out:
$ svn cat https://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/readme.txt
This is a README file.
You should read this.
Tip
If your working copy is out of date (or you have
local modifications) and you want to see the
HEAD revision of a file in your
working copy,
svn cat
will
automatically fetch the HEAD revision
when you give it a path:
$ cat foo.c
This file is in my local working copy
and has changes that I've made.
$ svn cat foo.c
Latest revision fresh from the repository!
