If you needed to go through the history of the file to selectively apply
changes from one branch to another, wouldn't the revision numbers be
useful? Of course you could also use blame, but with good commit
messages I'd think looking at the revision log would be simpler.

Try:
svn --quiet log [dir1 URL] --limit 2 | head -4 | tail -1 | cut -d" "
-f1 | cut -dr -f2
I'm curious why you want the previous rev number -- it seems like a
rather meaningless bit of data.
