Bug: Checkout of old revision of moved/renamed branch

[Ben Bucksch <be...@beonex.com>]

Reproduction:
1. svn mv .../foo/bar .../foo/baz
(commited revision 100)
2. svn co -r 50 .../foo/bar/
3. svn co -r 50 .../foo/baz/

Actual result:
With svn 1.2.6 (from svk Mac package), step 2 gives:
svn: REPORT request failed on '/my/repo/!svn/bc/421/foo/bar'
svn: '/my/repo/!svn/bc/421/foo/bar' path not found
while step 3 works

With svn 1.1.4 from fink, step 2 works, while step 3 gives:
svn: URL '.../foo/baz' doesn't exist

So, the behaviour is completely inversed.

Expected result:
I would argue that the behaviour of svn 1.1 (from fink) is correct, 
although I don't mind both ways to work. Step 2 not working is 
definitely broken, though - at revision 50, it was foo/bar/, not foo/baz/.

Severity:
I had quite some difficulty with a coworker the other day when I was 
instructing him (he's new to svn) via Jabber (me using svn 1.1 from fink 
and him using svn 1.2.x on Windows).

There's no bug here.  Read about peg revisions in chapter 7 of the book:

    http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.pegrevs.html

What you're typing in step 2 is equivalent to

    svn co -r50 .../foo/bar@421

And of course, that path doesn't exist in r421.  What you really want  
to type is

    svn co .../foo/bar@50
