No, because it's part of the the RA (Repository Access) vtable. By
definition, it only gets a file from a repository. To get a file's
local contents, just apr_file_open(). Of course I can think of at
least two plausible behaviors for 'svn cat localfile': either 1. cat
the hidden text-base of localfile, or 2. just convert localfile into a
url, and still get some version of the file from the repository. I'm
not sure what you were thinking of.
