I thought one of the proposed benefits of the rN syntax was that it was easy
to drop those things into a command line. That is, when you see "r56" you
can easily plop that into 'svn cat -<HERE>' or 'svn log -<HERE>' ...

With that in mind, +1 on using the rN syntax, but that means doing:

   Merging r3
   Merging r5:16

instead of:

   Merging r3
   Merging r5-r16
