When you do "svn diff file", do you mean "svn diff -r
BASE file" or "svn diff -r HEAD file"? IMHO, for
consistency's sake, "svn cat file" should mean the
"svn cat -r BASE file".

Or, when you do "cvs ann file", do you want "cvs ann
-r BASE file" or "cvs ann -r HEAD file"?

Since I'm not the one implementing this feature, I'll
leave it up to the implementer to decide.
