I realize the scenario in the book isn't exactly the same as yours,
but I've always found Subversion to behave the way I described --
always including all revisions between A and B, and one revision
before A -- but I haven't sampled a whole lot of repositories. Perhaps
the behavior varies based on factors such as the repository backend,
repository format version, and/or Subversion client or server version.

You can have repositories within directories on the server, but
there's no such thing as a repository being a subdirectory of a
repository.

Note that the end of the day would be 23:59:59 not 23:59:00.

There isn't a way that I know of to make svn log output the
information you requested directly; in my experience, you must post-
process its results.
