So now I see a contradiction or misunderstanding all within the same
post, by someone that was attempting to clarify :)
You imply above that the two operations are equivalent, that they
both get rev 5 of the url so long as the path didn't change.
Then at the end of your response you claim that it will check out the
HEAD revision.
You can see how one might get confused trying to follow this:

I will do as Karl said and perform the experiment.. since obviously
nobody else gets it either :)
