Svn log of all files in a directory

Sometime we need to see svn log of all files in a directory (including all files in all its subdirectories). Here are some approaches.

Using repository url

First find the repository url of the directory by running svn info in that directory.

$ svn info
URL: http://svnserver.com/reporoot/dir1/dir2

Now use svn log on the directory repository url (not the root url)

$ svn log http://svnserver.com/reporoot/dir1/dir2

Using local svn log

Go to the the directory in local svn repository. Run svn update and then svn log as shown below:

$ cd /path_to_desired_svn_local_directory
$ svn udpate
$ svn log .

Note that command svn update is required. Otherwise you may see stale log information.
