A "peg object" is the object you're tracing history on. It's made out
of (peg-revision, peg-path) pair -- the way you'd locate any object in
the repository.

For example, if using an svn 1.1 client, the command:

   svn cat -r5 foo.c

...does history tracing, starting with a "peg object" of foo.c@BASE,
then tracing renames back to r5. You would see the contents of the file
in r5, no matter how many renames it went through. In this example, The
peg-revison is BASE.

I don't understand... please explain your question in more detail.
