I'm not sure what is going on in that code. If I were to write an
external tool for this, it'd be a parser over "svn log --verbose".

To explain: if I ask "svn ls --history URL", I mean "svn ls --history
URL@HEAD", that is I want to see all the files that existed within the
story of URL@HEAD, *not* within the story of any directory object that
ever appeared as URL (aka, URL@* / URL@ALL, to use the syntax of a
recent proposal).

So, I can't see why it can be any slower than using svn log --verbose.
