Our algorithm for turning a date into a revision is unidirectional --
that is, it doesn't know that sometimes you want a date like
12-15-2003 to mean "the last revision which occured before
12-16-2003:00:00:00" and sometimes "the first revision which occurred
on or after 12-15-2003:00:00:00".

So what you are seeing is likely this:

   At 12-15-2003:00:00:00, HEAD was revision 79.
   At 12-16-2003:00:00:00, HEAD was revision 89.
   So, 'svn log -r 79:89', which is always inclusive.
