How to get the SVN revision number in certain Date or date range

Question

How can I get the revision number of a branch on certain date.

I have tried :

svn checkout -r {2006-02-17}

but can't get any output.

Answer 1

 svn co -r {2011-11-28} svn://location/of/my/repository/branch

works for me. May be you are missing URL. however if I try to checkout a revision of a time when repo did not exist, I get

svn co -r {2006-11-28} svn://location/of/my/repository/branch
svn: Unable to find repository location for 'svn://location/of/my/repository/branch' in revision 0

Update After reading your comment you seem to be just interested in seeing committed file in a date range. Here is what I do:

svn log -r {2011-12-02}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r10514 | nishant | 2011-12-01 22:47:44 +0000 (Thu, 01 Dec 2011) | 1 line

fixed issue#2993
------------------------------------------------------------------------

refer: SVN doc for revision specifiers Do read why it gives results for the commits made a day earlier.

Update:
Revision range is not applied on date.

svn co -r {2012-09-04}:{2012-09-14} svn://location/of/my/repository/branch
svn: Revision range is not allowed

However, if you just wanted to see the files altered between two date range. Just see the log

  svn log -r {2012-09-04}:{2012-09-14}
