There's no known workaround. For every revision returned by 'svn log',
the server now needs to inspect the changed-paths in the revision and
decide how many are readable. Based on the answer to that question,
the server then decides how much information to send about the
revision: whether or not it's okay to send any of {date, author,
log-message} and how many of the changed-paths can be revealed. That's
what the security fix is all about.
