(Btw, next time please post questions like this to the 'users' list.)

'svn log' operates on a URL. If you don't specify a URL, it will just
use the URL of '.'

Therefore, when you run 'svn log -r73', you're specifying a set of
coordinates that don't exist: (73, branchURL). Instead, you need to
type 'svn log -r73 trunkURL'.
