Both WC and URL.

F.ex. I want to do a test build for all revisions in a branch.

I decide to start at r100... the next rev on the branch where anything
changed might be r105 (but I don't know this yet). So I just "svn up
-r+1"

In URL to get the next revision number instead of updating to it.

I know that I can get the next rev by something like:

svn log -r 8:HEAD --limit 1 svn+ssh://svnserver/svnrepo/

which will give me next rev >= 8 , but since I have to use HEAD this
can take a long time. (Have to parse the output though) (Perhaps the limit case isn't taken into account
when breaking out of the search?)

(I hope I make some kind of sense...)
