Yes, that's right.

Most commands default to the working file, and then you can use -rBASE
or -rHEAD or whatever to specify otherwise.

The only reason to make 'svn cat' different from this is that catting
the working file is fairly useless. You could just do plain 'cat' for
that.

I dunno. Maybe consistency is more important?

I wish I had a stronger opinion, one way or the other :-).
