For the plain HTTP API:

GET /db/document_id?rev=old_rev_id
You can also GET /db/document_id?open_revs=["r1", "r2", ...] and CouchDB will return those full revisions in an array.
See http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API for more.

Unfortunately I haven't used Couch Potato so I can't help there... surely though there is a way to pass in extra parameters, and I'd try throwing in a {'rev': 'blah'} there.
