Previously, if you passed a revision and a path to svn, it meant to look
back at that revision and select that path.  New behaviour is to get the
path then go back to the revision.  The old syntax is selected with new
syntax PATH@REV.  This new syntax is not supported by the old tools, so we
have to try both in turn.

Blast, this analysis is wrong.  Hold off, I'll see what's really going
on and re-submit.

ok, figured it out :)

I was close!  I was just thrown off by 'svn ls PATH@REV'

The patch is the same, just the description has changed.

Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: handle changed svn cp command-line syntax

Previously, if you passed a revision and a path to svn cp, it meant to look
back at that revision and select that path.  New behaviour is to get the
path then go back to the revision (like other commands that accept @REV
or -rREV do).  The more consistent syntax is not supported by the old
tools, so we have to try both in turn.

The @REV and -rREV distinction/ambiguity has always confused me in svn,
too.  It always seems that it needed to be one way sometimes, the other
way at other times, and even _both_ at other times...
