It will work, but log dialogs could be _very_ slow if you have a large
number of commits. The TSVN 1.2 client fetches the requested number of
log messages (default 100), rather than the log messages for requested
number of revisions. The 1.1.x server doesn't support this so it returns
_all_ log messages which the client then filters.

AFAIK there is no way to query the server version, so I suggest we
should add (yet) another option to choose whether to use the old or the
new behaviour. Otherwise, TSVN will be almost unuseable for people
working with older server versions, and it may be some time before all
servers get upgraded. Lots of people will want TSVN 1.2 ASAP because of
all the new features (there is much more than locking in this release),
but repo admins may be slower.
