Sorry, but no. Subversion doesn't support that. There was a discussion
about such a feature on the Subversion mailing list, but the devs
thought it was not worth the effort.

I've reported that to the Subversion mailing list almost two years ago
when I first implemented the log dialog. Even though at that time both
the server and the repository database weren't "fixed" (i.e. marked
stable and not allowed to change anymore) they didn't wanted to add that
feature. Couldn't convince them otherwise :(
