I think you can see all of the log messages from the trunk and
branches in one list if you do it from the root of the repository,
rather than the trunk or a specific branch folder. I do that in
TortoiseSVN by opening the repo-browser, right-clicking on the root
folder, the selecting show log. I don't use the command line
interface, so I can't help you there. I am also not sure if there is
a way to display the log for a single file relative to the root of the rep.
