Hmph... I was following the pattern that I saw in other files (the
internal functions were document a lot less formally than
public/semi-public ones). I can go back and update this though. I
assume that it should be doxygenified? :-)

I believe the typo was corrected in r14133.

svn_opt_revision_working, svn_opt_revision_base, and
svn_opt_revision_comitted are the acceptable values. I'll make sure to
document that as well as put in a few assert() statements.

Will fix.

I missed some of the peg discussions, so I wasn't certain if it was really
feasible to specify a peg revision on a local path. I actually tried it
on the command line, and the peg revision is something other than
unspecified if you @REVISION syntax (my-local-file@BASE, for example).
From my understanding of the peg revision, it's where we're supposed to
start looking as far as history tracing is concerned. If it's anything
other than unspecified, base, or committed, then I assumed we'd have to
ask the repository for that information (how would I know if the file was
called x at revision y without contacting the repository?). Hence the
check. If I'm wrong, please enlighten me, and I'll either remove the
redundant code or document why I chose to check the peg revision.
