I don't think we currently support pegrev syntax for single copies (see
issue 2546). We should probably implement that before worry about the
multiple version. They could be implemented together without too much
trouble.

As for use cases, I suppose if one wanted to cherry-pick specific files
at specific revisions, it would be useful to support this syntax. For
example:
svn cp svn://some/file_at_123 svn://some/file_at_456 svn://some/snapshot/dir

Kind of a "multiple retro tag" operation.
