In TSVN, the Show Log operation defaults to HEAD. This is different from
the command line client, which defaults to the working copy revision of the
item being displayed.

Normally the TSVN behaviour is more natural, as it shows the current state
of things. However, in cases such as yours it is a bit suboptimal. The
workaround, as you noticed, is to use the repo-browser.

That said, I wonder would it add much to the complexity of the Show Log user
interface to add a similar revision button that exists in the repo-browser?
Obviously it would need to recognize "working copy" as a special revision.
This would make Show Log useful for people that for some reason need to use
old working copies.
