As long as the svn library does not provide an API to get that
information fast, no. I won't implement this.

Because as the state is now, to do that we'd have to first fetch the log
(ok, already do), but then fetch the properties of every single file and
every single revision to get all the required info.
Example of a small project:
1000 revisions, 500 files = 500'000 property requests.
If you consider at least 20ms for each request (if you're not shut down
earlier because half a million requests really are like a DOS attack),
then it would take 167 minutes or almost three hours.
And that's just for a fast server and a relatively small project.

So no, there's no way I'll implement something like this because nobody
would ever, ever use it.
