Understanding the delta editor's set_target_revision()

Can anyone shed light on the meaning and purpose of "set_target_revision()" in
the delta editor?

I'm just trying to understand this for tree-conflicts work, as it might be
relevant for helping to detect whether the working copy being edited matches
the merge-left source.

[[[
--- subversion/include/svn_delta.h (revision 30178)

  typedef struct svn_delta_editor_t
  {
    /** Set the target revision for this edit to @a target_revision. This
     * call, if used, should precede all other editor calls.

    svn_error_t *(*set_target_revision)(void *edit_baton,
                                        svn_revnum_t target_revision,
                                        apr_pool_t *pool);

Thanks for any help.
