This is not the "last set of changes made to a file". $Rev$ could be
any number of changes behind HEAD. Therefore, $Rev$ - 1 could be one
more than any number of changes behind HEAD. :-)

I think what you meant is

    svn diff -r PREVIOUS:CURRENT
    svn diff -r PREVIOUS:

which would all do the same thing:

    svn diff -r ($Rev$ - 1):$Rev

Is that right? (You could get the reverse order in the obvious way,
of course.)

Eventually, "svn rollback" will be doing something similar to this.
