"svn log -r 5" means "show me the log for revision 5". If you want
the history to revision 5 from the beginning of time, you could try
"svn log -r 0:5".
If you don't know that 5 is the last changed revision of foo.c... but
you do want the entire log of foo.c, from its inception to its last
changed revision.... why not just get the entire log and omit the
revision argument?
svn log -v file:///C:/work/testrepo/trunk/foo.c_at_2
