No, not at all.
"Base" is not the "base of the repository" (aka r1), it's the base of
the working copy!
I don't use the command line a lot, I usually have Trac, WebSVN and/or
TortoiseSVN installed, but it seems you're looking for
svn log 1:head
or
svn log head:1

Exactly :-)
Apparently, your working copy is at revision 100 (or 99? I'm not
sure...) and that's why "base" refers to that revision and gives you the
log from there up to head.

You're using the wrong parameters :-)))
AND you're confusing "base" with "revision 1".
Go check
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.ref.svn.c.log
and
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.tour.history
Seems like everything that's happening to you is described there :-)
(and a lot more - I really recommend the book!)
