Dumb SVN question: update between branches

[Dmitry Morozovsky]

Dear colleagues,

I've found myself bumping against the wall with very stupid thing, quick 
googling did not help:

what is SVN's analog of 'cvs update -r BRANCH' (in FreeBSD repo's case)?


Example: in CVS case

--
marck at revamp:/usr/src> cvs -R st Makefile
===================================================================
File: Makefile         	Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:	1.341.2.7	Thu Mar 19 20:48:18 2009
   Repository revision:	1.341.2.7	/home/ncvs/src/Makefile,v
   Sticky Tag:		RELENG_7 (branch: 1.341.2)
   Sticky Date:		(none)
   Sticky Options:	(none)

marck at revamp:/usr/src> cvs -R up -r RELENG_8
[snip]
marck at revamp:/usr/src> cvs -R st Makefile
===================================================================
File: Makefile         	Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:	1.358.2.1	Wed Sep  2 07:37:32 2009
   Repository revision:	1.358.2.1	/home/ncvs/src/Makefile,v
   Sticky Tag:		RELENG_8 (branch: 1.358.2)
   Sticky Date:		(none)
   Sticky Options:	(none)

In SVN case I have:

marck at hamster:/usr/src> svn info
Path: .
URL: file:///FreeBSD/svn/base/head
Repository Root: file:///FreeBSD/svn/base
Repository UUID: ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f
Revision: 196740
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: trasz
Last Changed Rev: 196740
Last Changed Date: 2009-09-01 22:30:17 +0400 (Tue, 01 Sep 2009)

what in this case I should do to have stable/8 (retaining my local changes, 
otherwise I'd just blow the whole tree up and re-checkout it). Sure I can store 
`svn diff' output, checkout fresh tree and try to apply diff there, but this 
way does not seem natural to me.

Any hints? Thanks!
