Thanks!

I suspect we're trying to do some kind of case-insensitive parsing of
the "committed" revision keyword ... I bet there's a "tolower" or some
such involved ...

/me checks code ... it's been a long time

Oh wow. linsvn_subr/opt.c:revision_from_word does this:

  else if (strcasecmp(word, "committed") == 0)
    {
      revision->kind = svn_opt_revision_committed;
    }

The interesting thing to note here is that strcasecmp is in fact doing
the right thing, since "COMMITTED" and "committed" aren't
case-fold-equal in a Turkish locale. I'm not quite sure what to do here.
We could do a case-sensitive compare to both the all-uppercase and
all-lowercase variants, but that would not be backwards-compatible
because (in most locales :) we currently accept, e.g., "CommitTed" as
well, poor Ted.

One way to make this work would be to use the globbing pattern matcher,
apr_fnmatch, against "[Cc][Oo][Mm][Mm][Ii][Tt][Tt][Ee][Dd]". Note how
this elegantly sidesteps locale-dependent case folding. It's also a
bite-sized task to replace probably all instances of case-folding
compare on static strings in our code with something like this. ... Any
takers?
