Path parsing bug in svn diff
Using svn 1.4, on Windows, I get the following error when executing this command:
E:\OSS\rhino-tools>svn diff https://rhino-tools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rhino-tools/trunk/default.build -r HEAD:PREV
svn: Can't check path 'https:\\rhino-tools.svn.sourceforge.net\svnroot\rhino-tools\trunk\default.build': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
This, however, works:
E:\OSS\rhino-tools>svn diff https://rhino-tools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rhino-tools/trunk/default.build -r 1283:1246

Okay, that makes sense, thanks.

PREV is the revision before COMMITTED, not HEAD, and thus only makes
sense in the context of a working copy; so it is trying to parse your
URL as a path.
(You'd think you could use -c HEAD here, but it's not actually
implemented; see Issue #3041.)
