I think they are equivalent aren't they? Well assuming:
that the URL exists in all revisions between HEAD and PEG.
which should be made explicit I guess.
If I last changed URL in revision 195 then don't
-r 195 URL
and
URL@195
mean the same thing? As revision 195 will be the HEAD revision of that
URL when the repository is at version 195 (it was just checked in to
create revision 195 in fact). The only time they might not be is if
the URL had been removed at some point by a move or rename operation
IIRC. But even in that case as long as I specify the revision that
file actually changed in it should be equivalent.
If I am wrong can you describe the scenario where this doesn't work as I
am not seeing it from the pegrevs doc.
Also the second way should be atomic where the first isn't.

Isn't this just going around the block clockwise and counter clockwise
in the case where the revision lineage of the URL is unbroken? You end
up at the same place.
start at HEAD on URL and backtrack to OPREV down an unbroken prior
revision line.
start at version PEG and well go to HEAD (which is that same
version).
as long as PEG and OPREV are the same number is should be the same right?

Yup. Sadly read it often (and just reread) and showed it to people
trying to find an earlier version of a removed file.
