The other day I pointed out that each file in a working directory has
an associated revision number -- that's the revision number
corresponding to the content of that file. If you commit a change to
one file, that one file's rev number is updated, but the rest still
reflect the last checkout or update.
So suppose you have this sequence:
svn co <foo>
checked out rev 12
...
svn co bar.txt
committed rev 18
File bar.txt is now marked as rev 18 in your w.d. but the rest of the
w.d. is at rev 12. (If you do "svn update" it will all be at rev 18,
or above if other commits have happened.)
Finally...
Commands in general default to the rev of whatever you point to. For
example, "svn log" without rev range means the range is 1 to the rev
of the file or directory you specified. If you don't specify one, "."
is assumed.
So in this example, "svn log" means "svn log ." and since . is at rev
12 that means "svn log . -r 1:12" (or 12:1, I forget).
On the other hand, svn log applied to a repository default to 1
through latest rev.
In summary -- roughly speaking, svn log will show you the log up to
the point of you last "svn update". If you want the full log, either
do an svn update, or find out the current repository head rev number
and specify that explicitly in the svn log command.
