The reason why this is important is that http://server/url/file@123
and http://server/url/file@64 have the same path, but MAY be different
files unconnected by history.

For example,

% svn info file | grep URL
URL: http://server/url/file

% svn update
At revision 75.

% svn rm http://server/url/file
Committed revision 76.

% svn update
D file
Updated to revision 76.

% svn copy http://server/url/photo http://server/url/file
Committed revision 77.

% svn update
A file

% svn info file | grep URL
URL: http://server/url/file

Now assume some time passes and we make it to revision 123.
References to http://server/url/file@123 will not have a shared
history with http://server/url/file@64 because that file got deleted
at revision 76, and a new file was created at the same path by copying http://server/url/photo
.
