This ought to work, imho, but it's a strange case. A `b' once existed
in this directory, but no longer does. If you did

   $ svn cat -r1 http://url.to.repository/blah/blah/b

that would definitely work.

Still, folks: wouldn't it be nice if we computed the url and tried it?
(Sigh, so many, many edge cases.)

Similar situation to above, but even more edgy, yeah.

Good :-).
