Indeed. Or even run diffstat and include that output, which would be an even
nicer view of the information (since the only use I can really see is the
'at a glance' feel for the scope and impact of the change).

It wouldn't even be that hard to use retroactively add them to the log
messages for the existing commits if desired... something like

for i in {1..407}; do
svnlook log -r $i svnroot/ > /tmp/log
svnlook diff -r $i svnroot/ | diffstat >> /tmp/log
svnadmin setlog svnroot -r $i /tmp/log
done;

Or use diffstat -f0 if you really want the hard numbers.
