That all depends on how one defines "consistent" and "predictable",
doesn't it? For example, our current definition includes "for WC paths,
the default is @BASE". Ah well then, does "svn log" with no parameters
operate on a WC path? Technically speaking, it does; as a user, I see
"svn log" as strictly repository-centric.
