possible to have a local log instead of going to use svn log and going to site when checking a repo.

Hi all,
Is it possible to check out the log as well when you are checking out
a version from some repo. For instance this is a game I like :-

CODE: SELECT ALL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r879 | arnestig | 2011-06-14 03:23:33 +0530 (Tue, 14 Jun 2011) | 2 lines

* Now actually is able to run the system call.
* Removed gcc warnings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Using different dawn executable name depending on what system we are
running on.

The game is called dawn-rpg and one can find about it at
dawn-rpg.sourceforge.net but that's not what I want to talk about.

The thing it would be so much more convenient for me if instead of
going to the svn mirror or whatever it is and checking out the log, it
was local. I know I could do something like this :-

svn log > svnlog150611.txt

This would download the log file and put the contents in some text
file I have named as svnlog150611.txt . The problem with this way of
doing things is that each time I have to check out I would have to
create a new txt file with that date. If there was a way one could
check out the log as well when checking out a new version/release it
would be nice.

Its also possible that this might be already be there and there might
be another command to use locally that I am not aware about. In that
case, would look forward to people to share the same. Thank you in
advance
