"svn merge -r45:30" is the exact reverse of "svn merge -r30:45". Basically, the former is a rollback command. Also "svn diff -r45:30" produces the reverse patch. So there is precedence within SVN that X:Y (with X>Y) means the reversed set of changes. Generically, X:Y means "the set of changes which can be applied to revision X to obtain revision Y". This is why I'm hesitant on having svnmerge accept reversed ranges and normalize them.
