Hari, I stand by my original reply. It is expected that r61 is
included in the output, though at first it does not seem like it
should be. I do not believe Subversion works the way you have described.
True, when you request
-r {2007-06-21}:{2007-06-22}
what you actually get is
-r {"2007-06-21 00:00:00"}:{"2007-06-22 00:00:00"}
But Subversion does not give you all revisions that occur between
those dates/times, though at first that's what you might think you'd
get.
Instead, Subversion converts each date/time to a revision, by finding
the newest revision at or before that time.
Going back to Karl's original situation, r61 was committed at
2007-06-19 16:26:34 and r62 at 2007-06-21 17:11:46, so the
{"2007-06-21 00:00:00"} part of the revision argument is converted to
61, because r61 is the newest revision committed at or before the
specified time. Similarly, the {"2007-06-22 00:00:00"} part is
converted to 65, because, though we don't see it, r66 was presumably
committed after 2007-06-22 00:00:00.
Perhaps the little box in the book should be expanded to explain this
better, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it works.
I haven't experimented with the timezone part of the date/time
specifier so I have no comment there.
