Hello Ivan,

Thank you for reporting this.

I performed similar steps and I am seeing the same result, namely:

$ svn info "$repo/dir/file"@1
svn: E160016: Failure opening '/dir' in revision 2
svn: E160016: '/dir' is not a directory in filesystem '(snip)'

You asked for peg revision 1, it's looking in revision 2.

I'm investigating...

Thanks again for reporting this.

Nathan
