How to print out only the most recent log message for each file in a project?

[Kenneth McDonald <ke...@sbcglobal.net>]

If I do 'svn log HEAD', I only get the log message for the most recent  
commit. I'd like something like an option to 'svn status' that prints  
log messages, but it doesn't seem to exist. Is it possible to do what  
I want?

Thanks,
Ken

Something close to what you want it possible. Printing the log  
statements for individual files and directories is likely to be nigh  
unto unintelligible. However, `svn list --verbose URL` will print the  
last revision, last modifier, modify date, and path for every node at  
the specified URL. This is certainly much easier than scripting a  
solution and dealing with the network latency and extra parsing.

That said, it might be nice to have finer control over what is  
printed, but the predictable structure of --verbose is easy enough to  
handle, and there are many more important fish to fry.

If you really want the log messages, I'd recommend getting the verbose  
list, creating a non-repeating set of revision numbers, then running  
`svn log --revision REV` for each revision. Or use something like  
WebSVN or ViewVC to browse to the revisions of interest.  :-)

Revisions are global to the repository, not unique to each file. So,
to get the log message associated with the revision where each file
was last changed, you'll need to script:

For each file, run svn info
Parse the output to get the last changed rev
Run svn log -r <rev> <filename>

Or something close to that.
