Blame to Working copy version (Completing issue #2544)

Hi,

I just completed implementing working copy version support for blame on the
svn_client layer (where I intend to use it from my Subversion Client). To
make this command accessible from the commandline client I can do two
things.

1) Update the default end revision for passed paths to
svn_opt_revision_working
svn blame <file> would then use r0 - WORKING
And you could use
svn blame <file> -r 1:BASE for the current behavior

This is by far the easiest change, but would give a different result than
Subversion 1.0-1.6 when the local copy is modified.

- opt_state->end_revision.kind = svn_opt_revision_base;
+ opt_state->end_revision.kind = svn_opt_revision_working;
         }
 
       if (opt_state->xml)

2) As the revision arguments don't allow specifying the WORKING revision,
the only other option would be to add a special argument. (Suggestion:
--blame-working).

I would suggest using option 1, but I'm not sure if this would be a breaking
change of the cli behavior?
(I think we might call it a bug fix)

Suggestions?

If nobody objects I intend to apply the option 1 patch.
