Actually, I think there's a bit of UI #fail here. Subversion users
shouldn't be expected to know that "-1" is secret code for "invalid
revision". Our keyword expansion code should just show a empty revision
there instead. I'm guessing we show -1 in 'svn status' and 'svn info'
output too. Let's not do that, m'kay?
