Second reply..

svn info mywc/blah.txt -rHEAD uses the url of mywc/blah.txt at revision HEAD
and never the working copy path, in any format. That hasn't changed.

The result only changed for the case where no -r or peg revision is
specified.. which specifies the working copy version.

The new version will return the absolute path, and the old version the
relative path. (And the old result is still provided for the old function
name via the wrapper in deprecated.c)
