Answer 1

The poster has actually asked 3 questions here:

1. How do I look at the history of a deleted file in Subversion?

All the answers I see here are for questions 2 and 3.

The answer to question 1 is:

svn log http://server/svn/project/file@1234

You still need to get the revision number for when the file last existed, which is clearly answered by others here.
