Ah yes, takes me back a few years. These links have some brief
information on why this is so:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.revs.dia-1
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.forcvs.revnums.html

(Having worked with svn for a long time, I've recently taken over a
"legacy" project in CVS and am having the odd difficulty adapting in
the other direction, not least typing "svn" when I actually mean
"cvs").
