Considering myself as being located somewhere within the ~medium range 
of the SVN users spectrum I truly think that my questions are not of 
RTFM type.

So let me see i can do it pro actively:

assuming you have used the command

	$ svn delete some-sub-tree-of-a-repository

***and*** left a README at the ancestor directory of this subtree which 
says that you have just deleted sub-trees xxx,yyy,zzz etc my work flow 
to get a checkout of xxx would look like:

	$ svn co url/of/path/to/ancestor/directory
	$ cd /path/to/ancestor/directory
	$ read README, learn there was an xxx directory with content XXX

	$ svn ls xxx -R
or
	$ svn co -r HEAD xxx
then
	$ cd xxx

and that point i have a (non...) fresh checkout of xxx snapshoting the 
time you have deleted it, which i can start doing over svn log/diff etc.

???
