svn log -v -r {2012-05-06}:{2017-01-01} <URL to server side directory> is
not reliable though as it doesn't actually consistently return the data
correctly ; there has been a past topic on this and it's been explained as
a known defect due to how it was implemented. You're better off trying to
determine the revision number in play at the time of the start, and at the
time of the end, then using the revision numbers instead.
