Yes. This change was made to address the bug which occured when
trying to run 'svn log' on something in the working copy that had
since been removed from HEAD, and to make this subcommand's behavior a
bit more consistent with that of other subcommands.

I prefered the old behavior. Is there a way to provide default options
for svn log (or other subcommands), such as "-rHEAD:1"?
Otherwise, an alias could do what I want.

Uh.
Heh.

Isn't 'svn log -rhead:1' equivalent? (Doesn't any reference
to HEAD force a check of the repository?)

Yes, this should definitely happen -- thanks for mentiong it.
Our new 'svn log' behavior is more consistent with other Subversion
subcommands, and the code is certainly less complicated (CVS never has
to worry about things not existing in HEAD -- the ,v file is always
present and easy to find).
As for a workaround, note that if you use the URL of the resource
instead of the working copy path, that defaults to -rHEAD:1 (just like
other Subversion subcommands). So, at least on Unix, you can do
something like:
svn log `svn info | grep '^Url:' | cut -c6-`

Yes, cvs log is essentially a repository function (I think that
this is better like that).

Huh? Does running 'cvs log foo.c' show the *entire* history of the
file, regardless of whatever version I have in my working copy?

This would be a bit of a gotcha for CVS users that would be
worth commenting on in the 'SVN for CVS Users' appendix of
the book. Possibly under the 'Directory Versions' section?
