Yes, I know that the CL client uses the WC 'revision' as the starting
point for the log. But that leads to a FAQ entry on their side:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#hidden-log

So TSVN always uses HEAD when showing the log messages. As a sideeffect,
we can get progress information and show a progress bar in the log
dialog, because we know the HEAD revision and can 'count backwards'.
With WC as the revision, that wouldn't be possible.
