I'm not convinced that we need another subcommand for this.

If users have trouble discovering this functionality, what about
putting a hint into the output of 'svn help log'?

[[[
In the output of 'svn help log', provide an example that shows how
to view log messages for any changes the next 'svn update' will apply.

* subversion/svn/main.c
  (svn_cl__cmd_table): Add an example to 'svn help log': svn log -rBASE:HEAD

* subversion/tests/cmdline/getopt_tests_data/svn_help_log_switch_stdout:
    Adjust expected output.
