I went with 2800, which was close enough for `patch`. The issue was
that the working copy I was using is checked into another repository
(e.g. not http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/), so I was unable to divine
the http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/ revision from my other copy's WC.

Taken care of now, thanks for the advice.
