I guess you are saying that, if an explanation of
svn_opt_revision_unspecified in the svn_client_log3() doc string is
included, then the svn_client_log2() doc string becomes easier to
understand. Will do.

I overlooked the fact that dates/keywords can also be specified as
revisions. I can change that to,

  if (start->kind == svn_opt_revision_number) &&
     (end->kind == svn_opt_revision_number)
    revision = (start->value.number > end->value.number) ? *start : *end;
  else if (start->kind == svn_opt_revision_date) &&
          (end->kind == svn_opt_revision_date)
    revision = (start->value.date > end->value.date) ? *start : *end;

Revision numbers can also be specified as a combination of dates and
revision numbers, as well as a combination of keywords (PREV, HEAD, etc),
numbers etc. In those cases the revision gets set to
svn_opt_revision_unspecified in the current patch(v2).

I haven't added any new regression tests. Just modified existing ones
to work with the new syntax.

Thanks
