I think people would have an easier time commenting if they had a better
idea of what you're proposing, so I'll try to elaborate.

I think what we fundamentally need (for diff and for other operations if
they are changed to allow peg-revisions) is a function which maps <rev,
path, historical-rev> -> <rev,path>, using the FS history API. For
instance, in our repository, it would map

  <7534, "/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/editorp.c", 6000>

to

  <5609, "/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/editor.c">

You can currently do this sort of mapping using svn log, but it's a big
waste.
