There is a difference how svn cat works for deleted files. For deleted file commandline `svn cat -r xxx <full_url>` will give error, but 'svn cat <full_url>@xxx` will cat file from the past.
Unfortunately this method will not cat deleted file.

Just to add to Adam's comment, when retrieving a file contents I found I got the best results using the same revision in both places every time; ie. as follows:

<?php
svn_cat
($url.'@'.$revision, $revision);
?>

The one appended to the URL is the peg revision, and the one in the second paramer is the operative revision.

This seems to cover all the bases.
