I think you may have misunderstood the suggestion...

The idea is that svn itself should handle revision numbers both with
and without the "r", so that when you cut-and-paste from a source that
has the "r", things still work. Your command line above would still
work, but with the proposed change, all of these would work:

   -r 123:456
   -r r123:r456
   -r r123:456
   -r 123:r456

(and of course the space would still be optional).

Best,
-Karl
