yes, but not for svn update command apparently
it might be quite difficult to implement actually ...
I am not sure how the file could still be handled in the working copy
after such an update (if it existed ;)

(not to mention how users will scratch their heads trying to understand
the peg concept btw :)

for now, the simpliest way to actually get the file in, is probably "svn
sw -rthe_revision OLD_KDELIBS_URL/file.cpp file.cpp"
maybe we could add a script in kdesdk/scripts/ to make this easier...
("kdegetback -rrev file.cpp")
