Property change log

[Daniel Widenfalk <Da...@iar.se>]

Hi,

A colleague of mine asked me this: "Is there an easy
way to list in which revisions a property has changed?".
After wringing my brain around the problem for a bit I
had to conceit failure. My question to the community
is therefor; How do I do the equivalent of:

  svn proplog svn:externals .

Where proplog is an invented command that only show the
log messages for revisions that contain changes to the
given property. The command would only recurse if -R is
given on the command line.

Best regards
/Daniel Widenfalk

I just tried it out, and I expected:

svn log --depth empty <directory_name>

to work, but 'svn log' doesn't accept the depth option.

I know there's work to add an option to exclude all property changes from
the log - maybe it should be structured like the '--with-all-revprop,
--with-no-revprop, --with-revprop' options.

Cheers,
