"svn log FILE" will show you the log messages for every change made to
FILE (where FILE is a URL to the file in the repository or the path to
the file on disk in a working copy -- if the latter, make sure the
working copy is up to date (that you have run "svn update"))

"svn log -v FILE" will additionally show you which files were changed
by each commit

"svn log -v -q FILE" will omit the log messages and show you only
which files were changed

"svn diff -c REVISION FILE" will show you what changes were made to
FILE in REVISION

"svn help log" and "svn help diff" will show you all the available
options

There isn't a built-in command to answer the question "how many times
has this file been modified" but you can parse the output of "svn log -
q FILE" to get that

If you are looking for statistics about a repository, separate
packages like svnstat might help
