I think you need to re-read the whole thread... your statements
effectively boiled done to indicating that :
svn checkout url@5
svn -r5 url
svn -rHEAD url@5
all did the same thing. Thus the contradiction.
My claim was that I though it made sense that
svn checkout url@5
and
svn -rHEAD url@5
would be the same. Since the default is to get the HEAD revision and
the purpose of the peg revision syntax was simply to refer to a path
that may not have the same name at the HEAD revision. But the
original claim that led to my first message was that the peg revision
syntax does more than specify the revision of the *namespace* to
use, it also implied that you wanted to checkout that same revision
of the content. I wanted to know which was true, if this was clearly
documented somewhere, etc. I find it confusing.
