My organisation ran an SVN repository server for 2 years. This server died in November; we didn’t loose any files thanks to the local copies, but we lost the history, which is obviously a shame.
I still have my local repository copies and I’d like to know whether I can regain the SVN Log from this local copy. Usually for running SVN log a server connection is required, so the question is, is it possible to get the log without server?
Generally speaking, no: log entries are stored as so-called “Revision Properties” SVN on the server.
You can, however, try to extract log entries from caches of an SVN client you were using — as far as I know, TortoiseSVN caches log entries somewhere. SmartSVN does that as well.
