Description

I have a working copy that is a branch, and do svn blame to find out when
certain things changed in a file. I find that the revision was 36760, so I do

svn log -r 36760

which gives me

svn: File not found: revision 36760, path '/python/branches/release24-maint'

Sure enough, the branch was created later. So I do

LANG=C svn log -r 36760 .@HEAD

instead, which gives me

svn: '.@HEAD' is not under version control

I think this command should work, determining that .@HEAD was actually
/python/trunk at the time, and should follow the branch creation.

It would be nice if the first form worked, too.

I'll attach the IRC discussion in a follow-up message.
