I have also observed that svn log -r HEAD always gives an empty list
(just the dashed line), at least I have never seen it do anything
different. If I issue "svn log" on the root of my working copy it does
not include the latest revision or two.

Here's an example:

$ svn up
At revision 112.
$ svn ci -m "fixed stuff"
Sending Blah/src/something.java
Sending Blah/src/something_else.java
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 113.

$ svn log

Notice that rev 112 and rev 113, both of which had log messages (I've
manually replaced the path info and log text for posting) , you can see
that for 113 in the above transcript, do not show up in the log. All
of the above commands were from the root of my working copy. All
modifications to the repository were included in that working copy.

That doesn't seem right to me.
