Uh, I'm pretty sure I've fielded the question in #svn before, and in
person with users, but it's only anecdotal evidence. I couldn't tell
you how often the confusion happens.

Well, considering that's what most examples use (both in the book and
in some popular training slides), and it's the value I usually
use... I don't know how common "on" is, but I wouldn't be surprised if
it's the most common value.
Are you sure you've never seen this come up on users@? Again, I can't
point to the post, but it doesn't feel like it's coming out of nowhere
to me. I made my post because I felt like I was stumbling into the
question _again_, not because it just occurred to me for the first time.
