Here's the memo, from CHANGES:

     * add peg-rev syntax to co/blame/cat/ls/pget/plist/export (issue
#1093)

And here's the section of the 1.1 book that explains peg revisions:

     http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s03.html

Yes, the behavior changed, in the sense that we considered the older
behavior to be a bug. When you run 'svn ls -rX URL', it's equivalent
to running 'svn ls -rX URL@HEAD'. The algorithm that is followed is:

     1. go to URL@HEAD

     2. trace the object backwards to revision X

     3. return that object.

So if the directory had a different name in revision X, you'd still
see it.

This is the general way peg-revisions work:

     svn subcommand -r X path-or-URL@PEGREV

At this time, I believe every command uses peg-revisions now, except
for 'svn log', which is still an open bug we're working on.
