Hi Sean,
Take a look at page 33 of the Subversion book for an explanation of what's
going on. I think if you
changed your URL to http://bvsubver/svn/ or something similar you would see
the results you expect.
The -r {date} format will resolve to the latest revision of your
*repository* that took place
before that date. However, if that revision only touched files elsewhere in
your repository,
and you provide a path, then you will get the "blank" log message.
Here's an example:
C:\>svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn -r HEAD -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r31144 | epg | 2008-05-12 18:25:16 -0400 (Mon, 12 May 2008) | 2 lines
Changed paths:
M /branches/1.5.x/STATUS
Vote for r31131.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most recent revision in the public svn repository was made in the
/branches/ directory.
C:\>svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk -r HEAD -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, doing an svn log against trunk, asking for the HEAD revision, returns
nothing.
C:\>svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk --limit 1 -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r31143 | dlr | 2008-05-12 16:24:33 -0400 (Mon, 12 May 2008) | 1 line
Changed paths:
M /trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/serf.c
* subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/serf.c (svn_ra_serf__get_dir): Fix formatting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, limit can be used to return *something* from this directory. I
admit this doesn't
solve your problem, but hopefully will help you grok what is going on.
