Sure.  The canonical SVN reference is the SVN book, which you can  
find here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

"svn help ls" and "svn help diff" both show that these commands take - 
r arguments.  For example, you can ask for the ls of a specific  
revision of the repository.  "svn diff" takes a *range* on the -r  
argument, so you can supply any arbitrary r numbers and it will do  
the diff between those versions.

Additionally, "svn co" also takes the -r argument, so you can  
checkout any revision you want (and not have to use "svn ls"  
extensively).

See "svn help <foo>" and the SVN book for more information.
