Actually, you can use the date command, you just need to use a FORMAT
modifier. For example 'date +%Y-%m-%d' will give you the desired
output in a format svn can understand. 

I'm changing the severity to whishlist because there is no specific
defect. There is a request for a change in behavior. I'll try
to summarize here: 

1. svn -r to understand several different date formats. 

   a) specifying the month in English i.e. {December}. 

   b) the unformated output of the date command, i.e: 
      Thu Jan 12 09:51:37 MST 2006


The month one is a little tricky because different locals can have
different spelling for months names. 

Using the unformated output of the date command would be a nice
feature.

2. svn -r to understand keywords, such as yesterday. 

I will make sure to forward all of your requests to the upstream
subversion developers. Please let me know if I missed anything.
