DISCLAIMER: I have not tested with mixed-revision working copies.

And the results are... Some are consistent, and some are just *wild* AFAICT.

These commands interpret @BASE to mean...
--------------------------+----------------------------
the pristine of the | "what I checked out":
copied-here node: |
--------------------------+----------------------------
cat | update (but see below)
copy | (prop*)
diff | (merge)
export |
                          |

These make no difference if BASE is supplied
or not and always use 'what I checked out'
--------------------------------------------
prop*
merge

These don't accept BASE, though 'svn help' lists it.
----------------------------------------------------
switch
prop* --revprop
move

These are inconsistent in their use of BASE,
either acting different between -rBASE and
@BASE and/or being plain wrong. (more below)
--------------------------------------------
info
list
log
blame

But what shows in these "inconsistent" ones is a slight tendency to mean
'copy-from' when saying -rBASE and 'what I checked out' when saying @BASE,
within the use of the same command, where @BASE is stronger than -rBASE.
Though, in many cases this only holds true because -rBASE simply has no
effect at all, and not providing any revision or keyword selects 'copy-from'
by default. Read all the details below.

Details:

* move
'svn help' talks about a --revision option and a BASE keyword, but dude,
that just makes no sense.

* switch
'svn help' talks about a --revision option and a BASE keyword, but it
refuses to accept "BASE".

* update
update just uses the revision number "I checked out" and it is a no-op in an
up-to-date state. Otherwise it is a special case of a 'time-warp' update,
i.e. when specifying a folder, all its children are pulled back or forward
so that they match the folder's current "checked out" revision number.

* blame
'svn blame file'
tries to show a 'blame' for the locally modified state.
So I guess count it as based on the copied-here state.

'svn blame -rBASE file'
shows the copied-from URL's blame, but at the "checked out" revision, which
may be newer than the copied-from revision. This is not at all related to
either of the copied-here or "checked out" nodes' histories.

'svn blame file_at_BASE' and
'svn blame -rBASE file_at_BASE'
both show the blame of the file "I checked out".

* prop*
For normal props, using "BASE" makes no difference.
The BASE keyword is not available for the prop* --revprop commands.
[[[
svn: Must specify the revision as a number, a date or 'HEAD' when operating
on a revision property
]]]

* list
'svn list folder' and
'svn list -rBASE folder'
both show the listing of the copied-from URL and Revision (omitting any
local additions and deletions).

'svn list folder_at_BASE' and
'svn list -rBASE folder_at_BASE'
both show the listing of the URL "I checked out",
but at the copied-from revision (makes no sense).

* log
'svn log -v file' and
'svn log -v -rBASE file'
both show the log of the copied-here node, but they start at the "checked
out" revision (going backwards), showing some history that is not related to
the node, because it happened on the copy-from node *after* the copy-from
revision.

'svn log -v file_at_BASE'
'svn log -v -rBASE file_at_BASE'
both show the log of the node "I checked out".

In log, passing -rBASE causes the log to only show the node's log for the
"checked out" revision number. So 'log -rBASE file_at_BASE' is empty when the
"checked out" node had no changes in the "checked out" revision number.

* info
'svn info file'
shows the complete information:
The usual info is "what I checked out", and the copied-here node is
correctly indicated in Copied From URL and Rev.
Interestingly, Last Changed Rev reflects copied-here, not "what I checked
out". This could be argued about (not related to @BASE keyword).

(I was consistently at revision 4 before doing the replace, and I copied
from revision 2. So this case clearly interprets BASE as 4, meaning "what I
checked out". The URL is also "what I checked out".)

However,
'svn info -rBASE file'
shows a bad mixture:

- Path and Name show the copied-from basename (!?),
- URL shows the copied-from path, but
- Revision, Date and Last Changed show the revision number "I checked out",
  referring to the copied-from history (in the future after the copy-from
  rev).

Test attached. Note that some lines are good to uncomment/comment to see
through some cases (e.g. for log and info; should be marked). Most things
are plain, though.

...phew, what donkey work. XP
