Actually, the proposed exception was that if a peg reivision was
present, but the end destination revision was not, then the end
destination revision would default to the peg revision. That would
allow you to do things like:

svn diff -rOLD_REV URL@NEW_REV

Where the diff generated would be from OLD_REV to NEW_REV. Currently
to get that behavior you need to specify:

svn diff -rOLD_REV:NEW_REV URL@NEW_REV

This would be the same across all commands that accept a revision
range, so consistency would not be a problem.
