Book and command line option inconsistency

I noticed that the book has inconsistent command line option spacing
with a space or no space after the -r option:

% cd svn/doc/book/book
 grep ' -r' *
ch03.xml:$svn log -r {11/20/02}:4040
ch03.xml:$ svn log -r 19:5            # shows logs 5 through 19 in reverse order
ch03.xml:$ svn log -r 8               # shows log for revision 8
ch03.xml:$ svn log -r 8 -v
ch03.xml:$ svn log -r 2
ch04.xml:$ svn diff -r343:344 http://svn.example.com/repos/trunk/calc
ch04.xml:$ svn merge -r343:344 http://svn.example.com/repos/trunk/calc
ch04.xml:$ svn diff -r343:344 http://svn.example.com/repos/trunk/calc > patchfile
ch04.xml:$ svn merge -r343:344 http://svn.example.com/repos/trunk/calc my-calc-branch
ch04.xml:$ svn merge -r 303:302 http://svn.example.com/trunk/calc
.
.
.

Subversion handles both just fine, but should we refer to one usage
over the other?  I'm not a fan of the -rXXX:YYY and visually prefer
to see the whitespace in there.

Best,
Blair
