How wrong can we get a short doc-string?

For our collective shame ...

In libsvn_client/merge.c:
[[[
> /* Get REVISION of the file at URL. SOURCE is a path that refers to that
> file's entry in the working copy, or NULL if we don't have one. Return in
> *FILENAME the name of a file containing the file contents, in *PROPS a hash
> containing the properties and in *REV the revision. All allocation occurs
> in POOL. */

There's no argument named 'REVISION' (it's 'REV').
There's no argument named 'URL', nor anything that looks like one.
There's no argument named 'SOURCE', but two possible alternatives.
There is an argument named 'RA_SESSION' that's not mentioned.
There is an argument named 'WC_TARGET' that's not mentioned.

Bloody hell.
Excuse my language.

]]]

I'll go and figure out what it's supposed to be, as I think I may want to use it.
