To find information about the history of a file or directory, use the svn log command. svn log will provide you with a record of who made changes to a file or directory, at what revision it changed, the time and date of that revision, and, if it was provided, the log message that accompanied the commit.
They are stored in the svn:log property. You can add the --revprop flag to the various property commands to view & edit this property.
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.
Subversion has a command for this, and it is called blame (guess why). Subversion creates a blame of a file by adding information about the author who committed a line, the revision the line was last changed and the date. TortoiseSVN has its own tool to show you those blames.
I have a bit of code that I would like to see revision history for. In the example file, line 300 contains something "interesting". How can I use svn to see when that line has been changed and review the svn comment(s) that pertain to the changing of that line. (Note that previous revisions of that file will likely not have my target line of interest at line 300).
