It will show the file that had that name in the given revision -- the
first command will give you an error because there is no titi in r1.

This is where the proposed syntax for in-path versioning might help.
Then either of these give you the first file:

bzr cat titi/@1  (file now called titi, as it was in r1)
bzr cat ./@1/toto  (file called toto in r1)

That might be nice, but I don't think it's urgent.
