Re: "svn diff" and "svn log" timestamp weirdness

What might be even better is to always do a less than with the value
the user specified plus 1. If the date is the end of a range. And a
greater or equal of the specified value with all unspecified fields
set to 0 if the date is at the start or a range.

For the end of a range this would mean:

-r{2005} would find the first date < 2006
-r{2005-05} would find the first date < 2005-06
-r{2005-05-12} would find the first date < 2005-05-13
-r{2005-05-12 07} would find the first date < 2005-05-12 08
-r{2005-05-12 07:13} would find the first date < 2005-05-12 07:14
-r{2005-05-12 07:13:12} would find the first date < 2005-05-12 07:13:13
-r{2005-05-12 07:13:12.22} would find the first date < 2005-05-12
07:13:12.23

Although this is a slight change in behavior I think it solves the
problem here are gives the user a more intuitive experience.

svn log -r{2004}:{2004} would then show all changes that happened in
2004.
