SVN::Client should have a log method of some sort.

People keep asking for this, but I have to admit I don't see why. All
any SVN::Client method that retrieves that data is going to be is just
a stupidly thin wrapper around the SVN::Ra method that retrieves it.

Well, unfortunately, I don't think you can actually get that data
without doing a bunch of calls to the repos.
Note that most repository viewer software uses the libsvn_repos and
libsvn_fs APIs, not the libsvn_client and libsvn_ra APIs. It's much
easier to do this sort of thing there, the APIs really are more suited
to it. It's kind of hard to do the stuff you're trying to do without
making a lot of calls because the client apps don't generally try to
do that sort of thing.
