How is your GUI different to the others in development? What do you think is
missing from the other GUI's designs?

In my WorkBench GUI (see pysvn.tigris.org) this is what I display with the
History command for a file. I only see info for the revisions that the file
was modified in (that interesting ones), Just as you want.
The delay is the round trip time to the repo, not the amount of data
returned, so
losing the text of the log message should not make that much difference to
the delay
unless you are on a very low bandwidth connection.
Is the problem that you want this data for all the files in a working copy?
