svnlook does not support anything other than numeric revision numbers.

Until we change that, which we probably ought to:
svnlook propget --revision `svnlook youngest /opt/repos/testrepo`
/opt/repos/testreop

Is your only option.

Looks okay but is wrong:

$ svnlook youngest test-repo
8
$ svnlook date -r 8 test-repo
2004-06-22 17:08:22 -0700 (Tue, 22 Jun 2004)
$ svnlook date -r HEAD test-repo
2004-06-22 16:59:00 -0700 (Tue, 22 Jun 2004)

Passing anything other than a valid positive integer results in us
looking in revision 0, because this command is using strol() to convert
the command line arg to a revision number. strol() returns 0 when the
string passed into it is not a number.

I'm working on fixing this right now. It'll give a better error
message, but still won't support HEAD.
