Speaking of svn, I prefer the @ notation to the -r option. Do anyone here has
pros and cons of one vs. the other?

Personaly, I found that it proved to be more reliable to use @ rather than -r
because in some cases existing files at a certain revision could not be co'ed
or cat'ed from the repository with -r, but could be with the @ notation. Any
thoughts on this?
