History of deleted file
I was trying to discover the revision in which I deleted a file, and
found that many things I tried didn't work. Eventually I did svn log
-v on the parent directory and got the info. I see from the list
archive this is the recommended procedure (possibly with -q as well).
I guess the naive approaches fail because the file doesn't exist in
the current revision, but it seems a bit odd they don't work. Could
anyone explain why the following fail? Are any of these behaviors
bugs?
svn, version 1.0.6 (r10360)

OK, the fine manual has this to say:
Note
PREV, BASE, and COMMITTED can be used to refer to local paths, but not
to URLs.
So that explains why this particular command didn't work. I'm still
wondering about the others.
