Looks like the peg-revs have it - and I agree, that's a much more
useful implementation. I'd certainly be happy switching blame and diff
to infer the operative revision from the pegrev if none was provided.
('svn blame -rHEAD foo@X' would get the old behaviour).

'diff' might be a bit tricky (we've pontentially got two paths and
revisions to deal with), but it shouldn't be impossible. 'blame' I'd
imagine should be trivial to fix.
