Sorry for the noise, this wasn't clear to me from the documentation I
skimmed. Thanks for the pointer. One thing though, it seems to me
that more intuitive behavior (preventing people like me from needlessly
complaining) would be that if a peg revision was specified where there
was no object at that path svn would take the object from the most
recent previous revision where something did exist at that path. Oh
well, I realize this is probably not especially efficient, just my 2
cents.
