Actually, I think there's a bit of UI #fail here. Subversion users shouldn't be expected to know that "-1" is secret code for "invalid revision". Our keyword expansion code should just show a empty revision there instead. I'm guessing we show -1 in 'svn status' and 'svn info' output too. Let's not do that, m'kay?
