"Works as expected" depends largely on the expectations. I find that the
peg revision algorithm works exactly as expected and intended. They certain
work way better than before the peg revision algorithm was designed -- I
mean, it was the chosen solution for a slew of real bugs that all users were
hitting (not just those that didn't take the time to understand how to use
Subversion).
