I have this little script, although it shells out to svn log to ask it about the file. It's good enough for the rare times when I need it and don't want to look at svn log directly.

#!/usr/bin/perl foreach $f (@ARGV) { open F, "svn log $f |"; while(<F>) { next unless /^r/; /^(r\d+)\s+\|\s+(.*?)\s+\|/; print "$f $1 $2\n"; last } close F or do { $! = $? >> 8; warn "Could not read $f: $!" }; }

The output shows me the file, last revision where the file was changed, and who changed it. With a little more work I could get the date (or just print the entire second line from svn log).

$ svn-who Chap*/*.pod ... Chapters/16.tied_variables.pod r137 brian Chapters/17.modulinos.pod r130 brian Chapters/18.bit_vectors.pod r137 brian Chapters/19.foriegn_relations.pod r137 brian
