honestly i'm not sure i've ever *done* an 'svn log'.
(till just now... woo-hoo!)

what about 'svn diff'?

if you specify -r xxx:yyy, then you can use just a repository path;
otherwise, you need a local working directory. should 'svn diff' default
to the whole repository in the case where two revnums are given, but to
the current working directory otherwise?

it seems more consistent and therefore less confusing (to me) to have diff
always operate on the current wd unless otherwise specified. and, then,
it makes sense (to me) for log to do the same.

my other concern would be, if i am working with many projects in a
single repository, it is unlikely (or at least not the most common case)
that i am really going to want to look at all of them in a single
diff/log.
