Yes, it will be slower. But as far as I know there is no other way to
get the previous/next revision of a file.

I suppose the output from an unlimited "svn log" could be saved to speed
up future operations. vc-annotate-warp-revision might actually call
these functions multiple times.

vc-rollback is not supported by the svn backend.

I don'f fully understand how vc-diff works, but these functions are not
called for "C-x v =". This is good since that operation should not
require server access at all.

vc-annotate-show-diff-revision-at-line calls vc-svn-previous-revision.
In that case the server will be contacted twice for no good reason, a
simple "svn diff -r rev" would suffice (isn't this true for all backends?).

vc-annotate-show-changeset-diff-revision-at-line calls
vc-svn-previous-revision with filename set to nil. It that case it makes
sense to return rev-1. The modified patch below takes care of that.
