There's no reason not to always use p...@rev. You can use p...@head to get the default behaviour. In 1.6.5, we explicitly changed the svn CLI client to parse peg revisions in each of its URL or path arguments, and either evaluate them or discard them depending on whether a peg revision makes sense in the current context. This was done to help scripts, hudson jobs, and the like. Stefan
