Ok, yes, that's exactly the scenario I was talking about. This
repository was probably created by "svnadmin load"ing various other
repositories, so the revisions are not in chronological order, so the
"-r{date}" syntax will not be reliable with this repository. As I
understand it, "-r{date}" does a binary search across all revisions
to find the target revision; if any revision is not in order, this
will cause some searches to return incorrect results.
