To be more precise, dates are resolved to revision numbers using binary
search on the revisions space, comparing by the svn:date revprop's
value; that process can give different answers over time (as HEAD
increases) if the sequence of svn:date values isn't monotonically
increasing, which can happen, for instance, when doing 'svnadmin load'
into an existing repository.
