I'm saying that the the revision number alone doesn't tell you
anything. You need to examine the lineage of your tree: what (rev,
path) it came from, and what (rev, path) it was ultimately copied
from, further and furthe back in time. Only then will you know if
you have a certain bugfix or not.

All of this lineage is discoverable via 'svn log -v'. So yes, if you
*know* the lineage, then the single revnum is meaningful. But most
end-users don't know the lineage, only the developers do.
