You're specifying the endrev as
/endrev:-1
so you were just lucky it worked before :)

See: the command line parser accepts '/' but also '-' as a command line
switch. When you specify "/endrev:-1" this is parsed as
/endrev -1
so basically: an empty 'endrev' and a parameter '1'.

Now: an empty endrev is converted to zero. I guess that svn 1.8.x just
assumed the revision was not specified and assumed HEAD. But svn 1.9.x
tries to use revision 0 as the end revision, and that's why it fails.

To specify -1 as the revision, you have to specify this as:
/endrev:"-1"
and then it works.

But: when I don't specify no revision at all but only the /line
parameter, the blame still goes to that line, not line 1.
