perhaps, but i can't seem how it could be easily done. are we
supposed to store the logs in the .svn dirs? which one? what if
you've only checked out part of the tree, rather than all of it. i
just can't imagine a clean solution to this problem.

could you be a little more specific about this part? i'm not sure
quite what you mean.

are you sure? my knowledge of cvs isnt' too in depth, but from a
cursory inspection of the CVS dirs in my checked out apr tree, it
doesn't seem to be storing log information there...
