I'd like to understand better what a revision range means in 'svn blame'.

For example, you do

   $ svn blame --xml -r12:25 foo.c

Suppose that

   - some lines Q were modified in r15 and again in r19;

   - some lines R were added in r13, modified in r15 and r16, and
     later deleted in r20;

   - some lines S were deleted in r17;

   - some lines T were modified in r18 and deleted in r22;

How would these sets of lines Q, R, S, and T show up in the output?

I haven't read the patch carefully. Would revision ranges be
prohibited unless --xml were also passed? If not, how would they be
handled in non-xml output?

Thanks,
-Karl
