svn help log doesn’t give me an option to see the history recursively.

svn log -l3 --recursive SVN_ROOT_URL does not work. I would expect that it gives me the last 3 commits below SVN_ROOT_URL.

This is really annoying. I always have to start my IDE or look at team-city to see the last commits on a project (though I am not sure which svn command these tools execute behind the scenes).

I think this feature is very important and hope it is supported out of the svn-CLI box without high bash-scripting effort.

    svn log is already doing it recursively. My error was, that I didn’t do an svn update before.

    If you don’t want to do a svn update to “protect” your working-copy do the log command on the server destination:

    
$ svn info .
...
URL: http://rep.com/svn/foo
...
$ svn log -v http://rep.com/svn/foo

    i use the verbose -v flag to also see the touched files.
