Hmm, this doesn't really accomplish what I want, as 'svnlook history' will
still waste cycles generating potentially thousands of entries, which are
then thrown away on the other wend of the pipe.

Sweetness, that's exactly what I want! Using a "file:///" URL lets me
use the local file system and the "Last Changed Rev: nnnn" entry
contains the last repo revision before 59999 that contains a change for
the specified file.

Thanks much for your help.
