That's right, but I think the other places where it is possible to use two
"historical" URLs (merge is the only one I remember) would profit from this
feature too.

It should be possible to specify two revisions per URL (one PEG and one
operative revision).

I'm not sure if the combination of the -r option and the @ revisions is the
right way to do it, but for me it looks quite consistent:

svn cat -r<operative_rev> URL@<peg_rev>

svn diff -r<operative_rev_old>:<operative_rev_new> \
   --old URL_old@<peg_rev_old> \
   --new URL_new@<peg_rev_new>

svn merge -r<operative_rev_old>:<operative_rev_new> \
   URL_old@<peg_rev_old> \
   URL_new@<peg_rev_new> \
   [WCpath]
