Huh? You've turned my explanation inside out. I said you get the *old*
path and rev from the log, and do

    svn co -r rev URLBASE/path

Dunno, maybe that boils down to a syntactic issue, as it appears that at
least for URLs, the @PEG syntax would be used more often than -r. That
in and of itself is wrong.

Consider, e.g., "svn log -r A:B URL"; why should I write that as "svn
log -r A:B URL_at_A" if it should be obvious from context that this is the
most likely interpretation? Same for the "svn log" -> "svn log ._at_HEAD" case.
