It is not an issue - they just mean different things - see 'peg
revisions' in the documentation. path_at_rev means go back to the
revision, find what was at the path. -r rev path means look at the
path in the head revision, and back up to the specified revision
number in that object's history. If there have been deletions/moves
they may be different things. Usually path_at_rev is what you expect.
