Philosophically speaking, there is sometimes a fine line between fixing
a bug and incompatibly changing behavior. For instance, if we were to
fix the encoding of diff output, we might break a script which relies on
the encoding being broken.
The addition of peg-rev functionality straddles this line somewhat. The
lack of history tracing in the svn client was a pretty serious flaw, and
we've already made the decision to correct this flaw by changing the
behavior of existing specifications of operative-rev and path.
So, this is a desired change in that it reflects the new behavior of
"svn co -r2 <repos-url>/A/D". Of course, since svn_client_checkout()
has no peg-rev parameter, it loses the functionality corresponding to
the new "svn co <repos-url>/A/D@2".
