'svn log -v' does not bring recent changes logs unless they are synced locally

[Leonard Gestrin <Le...@markettools.com>]

Hello,

It appears that

'svn log' command does not  bring the latest logs from repository,
unless they are synced.

 

Is that expected behavior? Is specifying explicit URL is the only way to
see logs for particular path? It's a bit confusing that unless I
remember to always sync before asking for logs in working directory, I
might miss recent log entries.

Thanks

Leonard

Yes that is the expected behavior.  Please see the following link for
more information.

It is documented behaviour, so it's expected by those who RTFM:

$ svn log --help
log: Show the log messages for a set of revision(s) and/or file(s).
usage: 1. log [PATH]
        2. log URL [PATH...]

   1. Print the log messages for a local PATH (default: '.').
      The default revision range is BASE:1.

   2. Print the log messages for the PATHs (default: '.') under URL.
      The default revision range is HEAD:1.

So if you want all lot messages without giving the URL, just ask for

svn log -rHEAD:1
