    EDIT

    the other answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/24500425/520162) seems to be a better solution than the one proposed by me. Check that one!


    On the client, it’s simple:

    svn checkout -r <revision> url://path/to/repo
    

    should do it.

    If you’re on the server (like your edited question says), it depends what you want to achieve.


    If you want to throw away all revisions after N, do a

    svnadmin dump -r1:N yourrepo > repo.dump
    

    then, delete the old repo and create a new one

    svnadmin create newrepo
    svnadmin load newrepo < repo.dump
    

    If you want to keep your repo, check out N on a client and commit to the server, so that N is the latest state.


    Third one: set up a branch starting from N and work on that one.
