Just run 'svn log' on the root of the repository (or just the project in
question, if you have more than one project in the repository), it'll
show you the log entries for everything under it.
Another problem you might be having is when you make a change to a file,
the revision number of the directory it's in is not bumped up (for a
number of reasons related to mixed revision working copies), so if
you're doing 'svn commit -m "foo" file.c && svn log' you're not going to
see the latest change to file.c in the log output because log's target
defaults to the current directory at whatever revision your working copy
is at. You have to insert a 'svn update' in the middle, to force the
directory's version number to catch up to the commit you just made.
