Typing svn log spits out an incredibly long, useless list on a command line. I have no idea why that is the default. If I wanted to read (or even could read) 300 entries on the terminal, I wouldn’t mind typing svn log --full or something similar.
Perhaps the SVN guys are thinking I wanted to feed that output to another program. However, if that is the case, it would make more sense to have the more verbose call for the program – not the terminal user.
Anyway, how do I see just some recent activity like the last 5 or 10 entries to see what changed?
