if you peg to HEAD, then why even add a peg revision?
If you peg to a specific revision, then it won't be HEAD anymore when
you do the commit.
The only way to determine whether it's the same as HEAD would be to do a
diff with the repository.

Now imagine TSVN would have to do such a diff in the commit dialog.

Example:
100 file externals
1s time required to do a diff with the repository per file

--> 100s time required just to figure out whether the externals are the
same as HEAD.

--> users would be waiting outside my apartment for me to get out so
they can kill me.
