Since peg revisions usually only are used in the CL client (TSVN uses
them without the user knowing it) I'm wondering why you need to know this?

But anyway: a peg revision is like an anchor to where the commands using
it refer to. For example, you have an URL http://server/trunk/file_orig
at revision 100. But the file has been renamed several times since that
revision. Now if you want to say do a diff of that file between revision
200 and 300, then you can do a diff like this
diff http://server/trunk/file_orig@100 -r200:300
with Revision 100 being the anchor. And even if the file is named e.g.
file_renamed in revision 200, file_renamed_again in revision 250 and
file_whatever in revision 300, the anchor makes sure you've got the
right file.
