Hmm, that finds a lot more, although not specific to options.
I've found one thread that seems slightly relevant, Diff syntax changes
for issue #1093 .

I get the impression that you devise neat ways to navigate precisely
through multiple
time dimensions. By all means, do that, but please don't use up the
very option letters that
cvs uses to do commonplace repository navigation with.
An ordinary tag is a static thing; you don't expect it to change over
time. An ordinary
branch will be present in the head revision. With a suitable repository
layout, and some
descriptive config files, the -r option should give capabilities
comparable to cvs.
I suppose it doesn't matter if numerical arguments to -r are always pure
operational versions,
but you should be able to name a branch/tag and thus imply a root
directory for the location,
in the current head revision unless modified with @rev-number (on the
branch name) or -D.
As I said in another post, I don't want to repeat past
dev@subversion.tigris.org discussions on this list (and yes, you're
talking about things we've already discussed to death. :)
So why is there no pointer in the FAQ to these posts?
