Can you clarify what you mean by "save a revision locally"? You want to
get the copy of the file on disk? You want to make sure it is in the
repository? you want to see the diff for that revision of the content of
a binary file? Etc.

It is pretty unclear what you are asking for. (bzr revert -r X FILE, bzr
cat FILE -r X, bzr diff -r X FILE, etc)

Yes Mr John I need To compare All The Differences last comitted For a Certain Revision (NOTE: The Base File for that revision may be a .xls file or may be a .doc file or .rpt file) , Thnaks.

Hi Santosh,

Lets say you have 10 revisions of foo.doc and you want to compare the difference between version 5 and the latest. You can do the following:

bzr cat foo.doc -r 5 > foo-5.doc # this gets revision 5 of the file into foo-5.doc

As you already have the latest revision of foo.doc you should be able to use the built-in compare feature of Word to compare the file.
Basically for a binary file you will need to use whatever special tool can diff the file.
There is also the docdiff plugin you can look at:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/docdiff-plugin.html

If you need to diff text files in bzr, lets say between the latest and rev 5, you can simply do:

bzr diff -r 5 foo.txt

There are various ways of specifying the argument for the -r option. This is explained in 'bzr help revisionspec'
