There should be some way to find out the last-changed-rev-before-N for
any revision N on a given path, yeah. Or some option to diff such
that

   $ svn diff --last-change -r100 http://blah/foo/bar.txt

does the equivalent of

   $ svn diff -r<N-1>:<N> http://blah/foo/bar.txt

where N <= 100 is the revision where bar.txt last changed before 100.

I'm not suggesting this is the ideal interface, just agreeing that we
have a problem here, and that requiring people to have working copies
to solve it is not a good answer :-).
