Re: svnlook changed doesn't include all of the files that are part of the commit

You might want to use --copy-into to see which changes are copies. You
can use 'svnlook tree' to get the copied tree. If a copy has additional
modification beyond a simple copy then 'svnlook changed' will show them.

Adds and copies are different and there is no single answer to the
question of what diff should show for copies. The 'svnlook changed'
answer is often what is wanted, for example when making a tag:

  $ svnlook changed --copy-info -r1703885 apache-repo-fsfs
  A + subversion/tags/1.9.2/
      (from subversion/branches/1.9.x/:r1703836)
  U subversion/tags/1.9.2/subversion/include/svn_version.h

For 'svn diff' there are options: --no-diff-added, --no-diff-deleted,
--show-copies-as-adds, etc. precisely because different things are
wanted in different cases. 'svnlook changed' doesn't have equivalent
options and that is partly because there is less demand for them.
