I was thinking a day about it and came to the conclusion, that it doesn't
make any sense to allow this for cross-repository URLs or to be TOO generic
about the PATHs.
Withing one repos, it should be relatively straight forward.
I would like to specify something like
--base /tags/project-drop3 --target /tags/project-drop4/HEAD/<revision>
which would be the best mnemonic style, I think, and the paths stay withing
the base-repos the WC is checked out from.
Take THIS as base to compare against, and check everything until THAT.
Should be available for at least svn diff and svn log, I think.
(As I said, within one tree should be rather easy - get last revision from
--base and compare against last revision from --target; you are only
specifying -rSTART:END ranges in another way)

Yep, I was only thinking about a command working within ONE repository,
because 2 arbitrary URLs would be rather complex to do.
I am guilty that I am somewhat inspired by how BitKeeper's revtool works.

Could we somehow "marry" the two features, to have --short for the
above-mentioned?
