Subversion makes no distinction between a branch and an ordinary directory.
The only distinction is the name of the directory, which is usually something
like /branches/xxx. Again, Subversion doesn't care about the name.

That means that yes, revisions are repository-global. If revisions were
branch-local, then each directory in the entire tree, not just branches,
would have to get its own revision. Or, there'd have to be some way to
configure which directories are "branch directories". That mechanism doesn't
exist.

Just subtract or add 1 to the revision number. If you are talking about next
and previous revisions on a branch, then use something like 'svn status
- --strict http://repos/path/to/branch' (IIRC, that might be wrong).
