Do you use 'svn log --limit'?

["Hyrum K. Wright" <hy...@mail.utexas.edu>]

Out of curiosity, how many people here routinely use the '--limit'
switch when running 'svn log'?

Thanks,

Well, I would seem to be in the minority here, but I use 'svn log
--limit 5 -v' and svn log --limit 10 -v' several times a week from my
bash shell.

Yes, I do mean literally, from the command line.  Thanks for clarifying
that.

Hyrum,

I assume you mean that question literally, as in who uses it from the
command line?  Because I use TortoiseSVN and Subclipse and both of them are
using this by default when showing history and I could not imagine living
without it.

Howdy, Hyrum. I use that all the time. I generally use "svn log -- 
limit 3" to remind myself what's been going on in a project I'm  
developing, or to learn what others have been doing recently.

Pretty much every time I use "svn log" from the command line. Like 
others, I can't imagine using svn log without it on any repository where 
r > 10.

Not only would having a shortcut command for it be great, I wish there 
were an entry in the Subversion config file to specify the default 
limit, where --limit 0 could be used to override the default and show 
all entries.

I actually prefer it quite a bit to using --limit.  (I use the 
equivalent of --limit 100 when I'm using TortoiseSVN, because that's 
what it does.)  It means I don't need to know in advance how many revs 
to ask for, I can just scan through the list until I'm satisfied.  I 
find TortoiseSVN quite irritating in forcing me to click on the "next 
100" button whenever I want more.

As do I, but it's mostly because "| less" is a muscle memory thing for
me (I'm so used to typing it, it just happens).

No, I usually use "svn log | less".

I cannot imagine using 'svn log' without limit, unless you're in the 
habit of ^C or have almost no history in your repo.

I use it pretty consistently.  After updating, if there were changes,
I'll usually svn log -rhead:1 --limit 10.  As Ryan said, a default
limit would be *so* nice.

Thanks !

Pretty often.  Actually, almost for every "svn log", except when I'm
using -r to show a specific revision only.
