Limit svnlook history output?

In a post_commit hook, 'svnlook history' can be used to dig up details
on the previous checkin of the affected file(s).

Running

     svnlook history -r txn repo path

returns a list of N historical entries of which the 2nd one is the repo
on the previous repo version of the same file.

Questions:

a) Is this the best way of obtaining the first repo revision containing
the previous version of the file?

b) Is there a way to limit the output to a small number of entries? Some
files have histories of several thousand entries, most of which aren't
needed in this case.

Any help appreciated!
