You can use "svn log -v" for this. If you know the directory where file 
was at that time, you can limit the search by giving an argument, such 
as 

svn log -v 
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/plugins/x | less

In the log output, using your favourite pager ("less" in the above 
example) you can search for the file name or the approximate date. Then 
you can do something like this:

svn cat -r12345 
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/plugins/x/way.java

svn update -r12345 plugins/x/way.java (if it exists in your working copy)
svn checkout -r12345 plugins/x/way.java

(Note that the JOSM core is at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk,
but plugins are in the OpenStreetMap Subversion repository.)

I suggest that you visit http://subversion.apache.org/docs/ or 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.
