You will always see some log message if you run 'svn log -rHEAD' on the
root of you REPOSITORY, not your working copy. Your working copy is not
necessarily checked out from the top level of the repository (in fact it
almost certainly isn't), so HEAD of the repository might be a change in
some other directory.
