Put an extra "@" at the end of the filename. Subversion always
interprets the last (rightmost) "@" in a path as the beginning of a
revision specifier; and if there is nothing after the "@", then it is
considered an empty revision specifier, and hence has no effect.
So when a path already has an "@" in it, the way you work around it is
to add an "@" to the end when invoking commands directly on that path.
