But checking out the parent works. I'd check it out to another dir then copy the specific files over. svn co -r 282000 svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/security/ You can change the svn.freebsd.org to svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org or svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org For reference I went to http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports and clicked the revision number at the top (above the sticky revision box) then tried jumping to a few different rev numbers till I got close to a commit date just before 2011/10/01. Once you have the rev you want you can go back up to ports (link at top of page) and enter a sticky revision. Then you can go to security/cfs and view the files.
