You can not checkout a single file. The smallest part you can checkout is a directory. In this case i would suggest to checkout the trunk in revision 1024 which contains all files till revision 1024...but will also contain the note.rb which you don't like to have. It is not possible to checkout the state as you described it. I don't know why you need to have only this state of your working copy with only files which have been changed in 1023 and 1024...which sound a little bit like a delta checkout...
