svn log on deleted items
I've looked through the mail archives and this looked like it was
convered in the 12-15-2002 thread of the same title started by Garrett
Rooney. I see the issue is tagged as "fixed" in Issuezila
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=891) so I'd like to
see if I'm not using the proper svn syntax.
I'm trying to figure out when a file was deleted from the repository
(mainly so I can checkout the last known version of the file for
recovery). I've tried all the steps mentioned by Garrett (log, log
-r1:100, log -r100, etc) and always get the 404 error from the svn
client. I've also checked against the subversion repository and get the
same error.
svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/ac-helpers/check-diff.sh
-r1:4121
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos/svn/trunk/ac-helpers/check-diff.sh'
svn: REPORT of '/repos/svn/trunk/ac-helpers/check-diff.sh': 404 Not
Found (http://svn.collab.net)
I can svn cat -r4120 and see the file, and not in r4121 so therefore I
can conclude that r4121 included the delete commit, but is there another
way to do this other that cating / lsing revisions until you find the file?

Apparently this is a newly discovered bug... 'svn log -v -rN URL'
should work, even if URL only exists back in revison N, and not head.
We'll get it fixed in a jif, I'm sure.

Aha very nice and definately works for my purposes. Is there also a way
to view the deleted file's log without checkout?

Try running 'svn log -v' on the *parent* of the file. You'll see 'D
file' in one of the revisions.
