Why is "svn log" a network operation

It seems that svn log should ideally be a local operation and not
one that connects to the svn server, for several reasons (I just
tailed my Apache access log and svn log had hits show up there).

1) This would be needed for disconnected operation.
2) It's faster.
3) If you are working on revision X and you do svn log, then you
   get the log for X+N, which is not what you would expect.
4) Cvs does not need a network connection to do cvs log.

Best,
Blair
