'svn log' can blow up on pathnames if you go from 0 to HEAD due to path
name changes. If you do a svn log on a file in the HEAD (svn log
svn://server/repos/../foo.java), it will trace the file's ancestry all
the way back to the beginning. You can easily pick out the relevant
commit message that way.
However because of Evil Twins, there may be mutiple instances of
'foo.java'. Example:
svn add branch/foo.java
svn add trunk/foo.java
Make a few separate commits to each one, and then do an 'svn
log' on each one. They will have different histories.
In your case, you will need to find all instances of foo.java (svn ls -R
... | grep foo.java) and run svn log on each one. However, this will
not find any instances that were deleted previously from the head, but
such a solution should be scriptable (svn log the whole repos, svn log
every istance of foo.java, do some filtering to valid duplicate logs,
etc.)
