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?

Examples. You can see the log messages for all the paths that changed in your working copy by running svn log from the top: $ svn log ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r20 | harry | 2003-01-17 22:56:19 -0600 (Fri, 17 Jan 2003) | 1 line Tweak.
They are stored in the svn:log property. You can add the --revprop flag to the various property commands to view & edit this property.
To get an overview of your changes, use the svn status command. You may use svn status more than any other Subversion command. If you run svn status at the top of your working copy with no arguments, it detects all file and tree changes you've made.
limit option, e.g.:
svn log --limit 4
svn log -l 4
Only the last 4 entries
