I wasn't aware of that... Then I simply trust in your good judgement in this case.

Wouldn't it be possible to get the revision in the same way as it is done on the TSVN-tab on the explorer properties page?
You are right-clicking something when selecting "Branch/Tag" and I would imagine that it would suffice of getting the revision of that object, or maybe that's already done in the SubWCRev-fashion?

Ok. For me they seemed a bit (slight understatement) unclear, but I can definitely live with them if they make sense to everyone else.
