"svn cp" does not show in "svn log -r X"

[pm...@users.sourceforge.net]

Hello everybody,

I'm still using svn 0.25, due to my mtime-patches I'm waiting for the settling 
of the auto-properties mechanisms - I'm planning to redo my patches using 
them.

My problem is that tag-creation ("svn cp URL/trunk URL/tags/alpha") does query 
for a log message, but this message isn't shown with "svn log".

I tried "svn pl -v --revprop -r X" on two revisions - the "svn cp" and another 
- and both show the same properties (svn:author, svn:log, and svn:date).

"svn log" works if I cd into the checked-out tag-directory (ie "svn co 
URL/tags/alpha", "cd alpha", "svn log -r X" shows the message).
But it works ONLY there; if I'm in a trunk-directory, "svn log -r X" shows 
only dashes "-----...".

So to get the log-message I have to know where I have to be - and to find out 
where I should be I'd like to read the log-message.

So I propose to have "svn log -r X" (where X is a single number) to work 
always, regardless of the directory you're in.


Opinions??


Regards,

P.Marek

svn log only shows stuff related to the argument(s) specified, or the
current directory if no path is specified.

If you "cd /path/to/trunk; svn log" you will not see log messages
related to tags and branches.  If you want to see all log messages, run
svn log on file:///path/to/repo instead of file:///path/to/repo/trunk or
the equivalent part of your working copy.
