My idea is probably half-baked because I do not use the feature and am
also a Subversion newbie.
I was thinking that there would be a log-base folder like the prop-base
folder with a file for each file that had the equivalent of what a fully
expanded $Log$ would have. That way it would be easy to see the change
history for a specific file, which seems to be the issue in wanting this
keyword. There could be a switch or something on the svn command(s) that
would normally get this from the repository to instead get it from the WC.
Having one file with the complete history for a project is nice for some
problems, but not nice for others, such as wanting to see the changes for
a specific file.
