Subversion 1.2 will have the ability to "lock" files, which will
give them this functionality. Right now, Subversion does not
have this ability (1.2 will probably arrive in just a few weeks).
The debate over locking vs. non-locking revision control is
age-old (relatively speaking), it works for some, it doesn't
work for others. As of 1.2, Subversion will support both modes.

Sure. "svn log URL:///repository" will show you a log of all changes,
you can just chop it at the 1 year mark. Subversion doesn't have
any way of expressing "1 year prior" in the command line syntax,
you'll have to work that out on your own.
