It is open-source, so nothing is stopping someone from implementing
this if they find it important.  I think most of us do not see a need
for it so it has not risen to the level of being someone's "itch to
scratch".

I am sure someone has scripted this but whether they shared it and you
can find it are questions I cannot answer.

Have you tried this?

http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#historical-uris

Note that would just be for using something like curl or wget.  A svn
client has always been capable of doing this.

Restoring something that was removed is easy.  However, finding the
element and when it was deleted is unfortunately not easy.  As with
the previous example, you would want to run svn log with the --verbose
option and parse the output to find the revision when the item was
removed.  Looking at the history of a parent folder for the item would
show when it was deleted, but you would have to search the output or
script it.
