Right-click the file and choose Replace with > History...
In the History view, right-click on the revision you want and select 
either "Get Contents" or "Get Sticky Revision", depending on whether you 
want just the contents of the old revision in your working copy or if 
you want to check out the previous revision sticky.

Hope this helps,
