   You have to know the branch URL and the revision number. Then do
svn co -r 242 http://svn.example.org/svnroot/branch/
   or
svn up -r 242

   Tags and branches in Subversion are just directories in the virtual SVN
filesystem. So you can use svn ls,
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.list.html

   or view the repository via ViewVC. These are python tags:
http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/ . Here is the tag for 2.4.2:
http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/r242/
