Ou! Didn't even know that such a command exists!
Checked now all "commands", that was the last to learn :-)
Tried it now and yes, it does its thing, but veery slow on a big checkout dir.

Well that will be an overkill I guess.

Are there client-side hooks like the server-side?
Didn't find any in .subversion/config :-(

Google found: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/06/svn_homedir.html
"because there is no way to add a client-side hook in Subversion, or CVS for that matter."

If there are, I'd just put a wrapper pre-commit that runs this:
export P=`svn info |perl -ne 'next unless (/^Revision: (\d+)$/); print "$1\n"'`
and post-commit:
svn log -r $P:HEAD

Anybody ever considering cliend-side hooks? (for the stadard CLI only)?

Kalin.
