An 'svn' command-line argument of the form ".@PEG" raises the error
svn: E125001: '@PEG' is just a peg revision. Maybe try '@PEG@' instead? That error is annoying to me, and unnecessary. This happens for pretty much any 'svn' command, with any path that is converted to "" on canonicalization and conversion to "internal style". It is inconsistent with how we interpret other arguments containing a peg specifier, including arguments such as "foo/..@PEG" which also refer to "this directory" at a semantic level but which are not collapsed to "@PEG" at a syntactic level. I think the reason that error was introduced (by stsp in r878062) was to prevent people being caught out when we changed the interpretation of a filename that starts with "@" such as "@file". Before r878062 that had been interpreted as a filename, and afterwards as a peg revision. It seems to me that check should only reject command-line arguments of the form "@PEG", and not of the form ".@PEG". However, the check was in a low-level function () that is used both after conversion to internal style as well as before conversion, so arguments of the form ".@PEG" were also being rejected. I intend to correct this, to make arguments of the form ".@PEG" syntactically acceptable. - Julian
