svn log --username sfriedri doesn't work

am I doing something wrong?

My reading of the SvnBook is that this command should show me all the log 
entries for the specified username.

Am I wrong or is this broke?

Log entries are not stored by username, so retrieving them by username
would be prohibitively expensive on the server.

What portion of the book gives you the impression that this can be
done? The --username option is global to all svn commands and is used
to specify the username to send for authenticating to the server.

If you need all entries for a single person, you'll need to parse the
output of svn log. The XML output can make this easier, as you can
write a simple XSLT stylesheet to do it.

Hi,

my reading is that

svn log --username <foo>

uses the username <foo> to connect to the repository. At least that's  
what

svn help log

says and that's how all other svn commands treat the --username  
option. There is no way to tell svn log to output only the revisions  
from author <foo> but you can use grep or any other tool to filter the  
output.

cheers
