OTOH, the user already supplied two revisions (-rN:M). I guess your suggestion is more correct ... but to me peg vs. operational revs have always felt overly complicated and unintuitive. Can't it, like, imply a peg revision of N, instead of HEAD? So to get the (more complex) case of HEAD's path node at where it was in revs N and M, I'd have to say -rN:M path@HEAD. That would break with the other svn client UI, right? Hmm, what does svnrdump actually do upon reaching a copy-here? Does it continue dumping revisions of a different path? Does the normal peg-rev thang even apply to svnrdump like it does to 'svn log'? On the same thought, I'd love to be able to do $ svn rm ^/path Committed revision 7 $ svn log ^/path and be told that ^/path was removed in revision seven, instead of that ^/path does not exist. I *know* that it exists, *somewhere* in history! Just, svn makes it awfully hard to find out where. I've been wondering for a while: what *is* the best way to find out in which revisions a given fixed path has existed and in which not? Few years ago I wrote myself a little svn python API test that does just that, I called it lograil (staying railed on the same path, no matter what). I think that 'svn log' should have an option that does that. Like 'svn log --fixed-path', and it tells you the revision ranges where the path existed and where it was modified. Or does svn already have that functionality? * waves ~Neels
