Is there a way using Subversion to get snapshot of the files for a particular point in time? For example, I want to recreate a build based on how the repository looked at an exact point in time from the past.

A:
Use svn log to find the revision that corresponds to the point in time, then svn co -r revision to check out that revision.

A:
Use svn checkout URL -r TIME, e.g.:
svn checkout http://server/repos/project/trunk -r {"2010-04-01 09:37:00"}

A:
In essence, if you follow the ITIL and the change management procedure, then you should have tags that correspond with release history of your application from the SVN repository over a period of time.
All you have to do is check out the code based upon a specific tag and that tag will be representative of how your application looked at a specific moment in time.
The repository can look like many things over a period of time as there could many different developers working on many different projects. Tags allow you centralise your efforts to more concentrated areas of your repository.
I hope this provides you with an insight into basic management.
In ESsence, use tags or the revision numbers that SVN provides or the SVN log if you don't have this documented.
