Just for clarity (and my own understanding), trying to put what you've
said in another form:
What you're proposing we should have:
* svn cmd -rX file@Y
--> operates on the entity that, in revision Y is called 'file',
where it appears in (earlier) revision X
* svn cmd -rX file
--> Y defaults to BASE for WC, or HEAD for URL
* svn cmd file@Y
--> X defaults to Y?
What we currently do have:
* svn cmd -rX file@Y
--> doesn't exist (at least for 'cat')
* svn cmd -rX file
--> Y defaults to BASE for WC, or X for URL
* svn cmd file@Y
--> doesn't exist (at least for 'cat')
Is this a fair summary of what you're proposing?
