Now I'm confused :-).

The behavior you described in your original mail is consistent with
the behavior you say you want (above), and behavior you say you want
is also the behavior we want.

Your original post said this:

If by '"current" revision' you mean the revision your working copy is
at, then there is no way a working copy file at revision 17 can have a
LastChangedRevision of 59. It could have a LastChangedRevision of
anything up to and including 17, but not higher.

I was also assuming that "the file is committed to revision 59" means
that in the *repository*, the last time the file was changed was in
revision 59 (which is much later than 17, the revision of your working
copy).

Did I misunderstand you?
