Apache Subversion 1.7.7 - svn log issues
Hi,
I performed the very first commit into a repository and I'm running the
svn log command at the file level (svn log -v --xml --stop-on-copy @URL
PATH, where PATH represents a file).
However this syntax lists all the changes to the URL.
Have anybody encountered this behaviour . is this a bug?
Best regards,
Ramachandran Raghavendran

The purpose of the "-v" argument to "svn log" is to tell you the paths of all the files affected by the commit. If you don't want that information, don't supply the "-v" flag.

My very first commit consisted of 10 folders and 8 files.
After this very commit if I run svn log -v --xml with the URL for a
single file, the output lists data for all the rest of items under that
commit.
I was expecting the data from just the file for which I'm running the
log command.
My understanding of what is happening is this.... even if we run svn
log for a single file, if the (subversion) selected revision involves
other files and folders, the log command gives the xml data of all
involved items. So svn log seems to run at revision-file level rather
than at file-revision level. Assuming that my understanding is correct ,
I'd have wished the log to give the output of just what I asked for :-))

When you say "@URL", you mean you typed the URL of the repository,
right? You didn't actually type "@URL", or an "@" and then a URL?
If you want the log of a specific directory or file in the repository,
then just list the complete URL of the directory or file inside the
repository.
For example, the URL of the Subversion repository used by all Apache
Software Foundation projects is:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf
To see the log of, say, the configure script of the Apache HTTP Server
project, you would do:
svn log http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/configure.in
