[PATCH]: Allow 'svn log' on an uncommitted copy destination

From: Paul Burba <ptburba_at_gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:06:25 -0500

Any reason why we shouldn't be able to run 'svn log' on an uncommitted copy?

For example (this is with trunk_at_901239):

### A WC with no local changes:

>svn st

### Check the log of a file:

>svn log A\D\H\psi
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r4 | jrandom | 2010-01-20 09:23:21 -0500 (Wed, 20 Jan 2010) | 1 line
  log msg
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r1 | jrandom | 2010-01-20 09:23:12 -0500 (Wed, 20 Jan 2010) | 1 line
  Log message for revision 1.
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Move that same file:

>svn move A\D\H\psi A\D\H\psi_moved
  A A\D\H\psi_moved
  D A\D\H\psi

>svn st
  A + A\D\H\psi_moved
  D A\D\H\psi

### Run 'svn log' on the move destination. Shouldn't this
### give us the log of 'psi'?

>svn log A\D\H\psi_moved
  ..\..\..\subversion\svn\log-cmd.c:600: (apr_err=160013)
  ..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_client\log.c:627: (apr_err=160013)
  ..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_repos\log.c:1449: (apr_err=160013)
  ..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_repos\log.c:1092: (apr_err=160013)
  ..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_fs_fs\tree.c:2818: (apr_err=160013)
  svn: File not found: revision 13, path '/A/D/H/psi_moved'

The reason the above doesn't work appears due to a broken API promise
in svn_client_log5; specifically the part which states:

"@a peg_revision indicates in which revision @a targets are valid.
If @a peg_revision is #svn_opt_revision_unspecified, it defaults to
#svn_opt_revision_head for URLs or #svn_opt_revision_working for WC paths"
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thing is, we don't currently default to a peg rev of
svn_opt_revision_working in this case. The attached patch makes this
default take place. It passes all tests and in the above example DTRT
IMO:

### TRUNK_at_901239 PATCHED:

>svn log A\D\H\psi_moved
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r4 | jrandom | 2010-01-20 09:23:21 -0500 (Wed, 20 Jan 2010) | 1 line
  log msg
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r1 | jrandom | 2010-01-20 09:23:12 -0500 (Wed, 20 Jan 2010) | 1 line
  Log message for revision 1.
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless anyone has an objection to this, I'll add a test to the
attached patch and commit...it just seems so obvious that this should
work that I'm suspicious there isn't a good reason it does not :-P
