Not to me, at all. How about something like 'svn activity' or 'svn
happenings' or 'svn changes' or 'svn eventlog'? History is really the
word you want to use here, but with the implication that you're
picking out the particular path that leads to the target. If you were
talking about people, 'svn ancestry' might be good.

"Trace" by itself doesn't imply that, but perhaps something like 'svn
tracehist' might... It's really much clearer if there's a verb
involved. Even blame would be better as 'svn showblame'.
