Consider also the other cost to keeping the file statically:
information duplication (and hence inevitable divergence).

Log data can be changed after the commit, using

   $ svn propset -rFOO svn:log ...

Then the repository log data would be out of sync with your logfile.
When & how would the logfile get updated? If it's autogenerated, the
answer is easy: at the next regeneration.
