Help on revision format

Hello.

I'm currently using subversion 0.29 and I'm encountering errors everytime I
used
the following revision formats:

svn checkout --revision {2002-02-17}
svn checkout --revision {2/17/02}
svn checkout --revision {"17 Feb"}
svn checkout --revision {"17 Feb 2002"}
svn checkout --revision {"17 Feb 2002 15:30"}
svn checkout --revision {"17 Feb 2002 15:30:12 GMT"}
svn checkout --revision {"10 days ago"}
svn checkout --revision {"last week"}
svn checkout --revision {"yesterday"}

Here are the errors I got:

svn: Client error in parsing arguments
svn: Syntax error in revision argument "[revision format]"


Please let me know what went wrong.

Sincerely,
Jerry

If you are using zsh (and possibly some other shells), you must quote
the '{':

svn checkout --revision "{2002-02-17}"
