Re: retrieving changelog of deleted files.

I was hoping to use it on the xul interface, unfortunatly something as
simple as this produces 1.2Mb of data. (and this is not the root folder,
where the original test was to occur..)

svn log -v http://www.akbkhome.com/svn/akpear | wc
29087 115706 1267769

looking at the client api / subversion book, it doesnt look like there
is any method of either getting log info for
- single level (eg. just log of files in this folder, not subfolders)
- ls (with deleted items and last modified.)

The only other way I can think of is to do a search, eg.
a) get head revision: svn log top of directory -rH

REV = SPAN = HEAD

while (SPAN != 1) {
        SPAN = SPAN/2
        if (is_error(svn log -rREV missing.file)) {
                REV = REV -SPAN;
                continue;
        }
        REV = REV + SPAN;
}
...
On larger results sets, it would be quicker than doing the grep...

It's a pretty edge case, but would have been nice to have in the xul
interface..
