The output of "svn log" is designed to be parseable.

The header line tells you, at the end, how many lines long the log
message is.

$ svn log -r 50596 http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/
trunk/dports
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r50596 | portindex_at_macports.org | 2009-05-04 17:53:04 -0500 (Mon, 04
May 2009) | 5 lines

Total number of ports parsed: 5802
Ports successfully parsed: 5802
Ports failed: 0

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the above example, it lets you know the log message is "5 lines"
long.
