Ok, did that with my test Subversion working copy (the one where I work
on implementing progress indication for GUI clients). When I choose
"History...", it fetches the whole log from the repository root! With
Subversion having > 16400 revisions, this is almost a crime - this is a
very big load on the server for an operation that's usually done several
times a day.

Try it: check out a working copy of Subversion and show the history for
that.

I didn't know that either, but some people reported that the revision
graph didn't work for them. And that answers your question: no, the
revision graph won't work either in that case. But that's something I
can't do anything about: the revision graph needs the log from the
repository root, otherwise we have even less information and couldn't
draw a graph at all (even with that, the revision graph has to do a lot
of guessing because there's just not all information available which is
required for a reliable graph).

Well, Subversion just doesn't provide that kind of feature. And
implementing something like this (as Workbench does) just isn't a good
idea, because it puts a hell of a load on the server, is terribly slow
even for mediate repositories (I don't even want to try it on e.g. the
apr repository) and not even reliable (I could show you my test
repository - ok, maybe not a fair case because I do copies there a lot
and I don't have a real branches/tags/trunk layout, but still, it
doesn't work there).
