$ svn help log log: Show the log messages for a set of revision(s) and/or file(s). usage: 1. log [PATH] 2. log URL[@REV] [PATH...] 1. Print the log messages for a local PATH (default: '.'). The default revision range is BASE:1. 2. Print the log messages for the PATHs (default: '.') under URL. If specified, REV determines in which revision the URL is first looked up, and the default revision range is REV:1; otherwise, the URL is looked up in HEAD, and the default revision range is HEAD:1. With -v, also print all affected paths with each log message. With -q, don't print the log message body itself (note that this is compatible with -v). Each log message is printed just once, even if more than one of the affected paths for that revision were explicitly requested. Logs follow copy history by default. Use --stop-on-copy to disable this behavior, which can be useful for determining branchpoints. Examples: svn log svn log foo.c svn log http://www.example.com/repo/project/foo.c svn log http://www.example.com/repo/project foo.c bar.c Valid options: -r [--revision] ARG : ARG (some commands also take ARG1:ARG2 range) A revision argument can be one of: NUMBER revision number '{' DATE '}' revision at start of the date 'HEAD' latest in repository 'BASE' base rev of item's working copy 'COMMITTED' last commit at or before BASE 'PREV' revision just before COMMITTED -q [--quiet] : print nothing, or only summary information -v [--verbose] : print extra information -g [--use-merge-history] : use/display additional information from merge history -c [--change] ARG : the change made by ARG --targets ARG : pass contents of file ARG as additional args --stop-on-copy : do not cross copies while traversing history --incremental : give output suitable for concatenation --xml : output in XML -l [--limit] ARG : maximum number of log entries --with-all-revprops : retrieve all revision properties --with-revprop ARG : retrieve revision property ARG Global options: --username ARG : specify a username ARG --password ARG : specify a password ARG --no-auth-cache : do not cache authentication tokens --non-interactive : do no interactive prompting --config-dir ARG : read user configuration files from directory ARG
