The COMMITTED keyword is only valid for local paths, because it is
calculated *based on* a path in your working copy. Subversion is
looking for a path with that name, and not finding it of course.

Same with BASE.

Same with PREV.

The 'svnversion' program is only for use on working copies, not
repository URLs.

Same.
