I think this one was addressed in other e-mails (it is not yet possible) 
but you can individually manipulate each project by doing an 'svn up -r 
<rev number>' yourself.   For example, if you want to see if this 
problem existed in Traits as of revision 19500, do:
    cd ETS_3.0.0b1/Traits_3.0.0b1
    svn up -r 19500
    python setup.py develop

The "ets develop" command simply iterates through all the project source 
directories in your checkout and does an"python setup.py develop" on 
each.   This command will build the source in-place and make it the 
current version in your python environment by effectively treating your 
in-place source as the contents of an egg.   As a result, if you svn up 
to any version for any (or all) child projects in the checkout, doing an 
"ets develop" on the checkout will simply make those versions active 
whether they are older revisions or newer ones.   I hope this is clear.  
I'm having some difficulty figuring out a better way to explain it.
