    A history is a story ("his story"), in other words a tail
    of transitions and not a list of static states.

    svn log is a historical representation. svn update, svn
    info, etc are for stateful representations. -If log were a
    stateful representation it would have no revision span option
    (eg, r10-20) at all as a state is a solitary concept. I'd
    like to point out that svn info does not allow for r#-#
    syntax, which makes sense because info *is* a state
    representation.

    For those that were mis-taught in school that "learning
    history" is about learning a list of names and dates there
    could be a misunderstanding of what the term "history" really
    means. I blame underfunded school systems. ;-)
