SVN tutorial n 22 - log

The "svn log" command shows log messages from the repository. If no arguments are supplied, svn log shows the log messages for all files and directories inside (and including) the current working directory of your working copy. You can refine the results by specifying a path, one or more revisions, or any combination of the two. The default revision range for a local path is BASE:1.
Instead If you specify a URL alone, it prints log messages for everything the URL contains. If you add paths past the URL, only messages for those paths under that URL will be printed. The default revision range for a URL is HEAD:1. The synopsis is:

 svn log [PATH]

or

 svn log URL[@REV] [PATH...] 

Examples:

1) log of current folder

 svn log

2) log of a local file target

 svn log MyFile.txt

3) log of a file via url

 svn log https://mysvnrepo/svn/myproject/trunk/MyFile.txt

4) log for revision

 svn log -r 3:6 MyFile.txt

5) log for revision of a file via url

 svn log -r 3:6 https://mysvnrepo/svn/myproject/trunk/MyFile.txt

6) log in xml format

 svn log --xml https://mysvnrepo/svn/myproject/trunk/MyFile.txt
