Revisions are not related to paths. Let's say you specified revision
= 200. The only way you would get an error would be if the repository
revision was currently less than 200, or perhaps if the path had not
been created yet at revision 200. Otherwise, the path has a state at
revision 200. It might be the same state at every revision between
100 and 200, but it still has a state and can be checked out.
