Well.... yes.... but mainly by historical accident, and I wouldn't be
surprised if it was removed in Subversion 2.0.
I suggest you set up a hook script that saves the old versions of log
messages, and allow your committers to change log messages. That way,
committers can fix their own errors without resorting to administrative
intervention, *and* you still can still access old versions of log messages.
But if you really want to know: "svnadmin setlog --help".
Max.
