Er, huh? Log entries are attached to revisions in CVS too.

No, that's what you thought users would say. That's not what i
said when i ran 'svn log foo bar'. If you have a good reason to
believe that most users will be looking for that information, then
i guess i'll just have to make a zsh function svnlog that does what
i want.

But i don't think that's what people want; it doesn't sound
particularly useful. I think when people give multiple files to
svn log, they want to see the history of each of those files.

I think it should be, but in separate sections; i want to see the
full history of each file that i listed.

I'll do this if you really believe people want to ask your question
more than they want to ask mine.
