History and log are very different in CVS. The CVS history file keeps
a list of operations on the repository and "cvs history" lets you look
at it. I have no idea whether we plan to emulate this functionality.

I think it's pretty confusing, although I don't think I know anyone
who's been severely bit by it.

I actually believe that we should discard CVS's insistence that global
options come before the command name and local options come after.

options should merely be a documentation issue; global options are
just "the options that most or all svn commands support".
