cvs log equivalent

SVN experts:

The cvs log command includes information about the size of each change:

revision 1.14
date: 2010-03-13 18:26:55 -0500; author: pgraham; state: Exp; lines: +331 -288;
Rewrote function.
----------------------------
revision 1.13
date: 2010-03-04 22:17:56 -0500; author: pgraham; state: Exp; lines: +4 -3;
Minor cleanup.

It's useful to see when a major change was made to a file.

The svn log command lists only log messages, with no information about the
magnitude of each change. In fact, I was confused for a while by the svn log
output format. It is somewhat similar to the cvs log file output, but the
"lines" field is only the number of lines in the log message. It has nothing
to do with the actual change made to the file:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r7327 | pgraham | 2008-03-07 19:33:42 -0500 (Fri, 07 Mar 2008) | 2 lines

Check for null pointer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r7143 | pgraham | 2008-02-07 20:55:01 -0500 (Thu, 07 Feb 2008) | 2 lines

Completely rewrite module.

Is there any way to get an output similar to cvs log?
