DESCRIPTION
       svn_log(3) returns the complete history of the item at the repository URL $repos_url, or the history of a specific revision if $start_revi-

		- Revision number of the first log to retrieve. Use SVN_REVISION_HEAD to retrieve the log from the most recent revision.

	      o $end_revision
		- Revision number of the last log to retrieve. Defaults to $start_revision if specified or to SVN_REVISION_INITIAL otherwise.

	      o $limit
		- Number of logs to retrieve.

	      o $flags
		- Any combination of SVN_OMIT_MESSAGES, SVN_DISCOVER_CHANGED_PATHS and SVN_STOP_ON_COPY.

RETURN VALUES
	On success, this function returns an array file listing in the format of:

       [0] => Array, ordered most recent (highest) revision first
       (
	   [rev] => integer revision number
	   [author] => string author name
	   [msg] => string log message
	   [date] => string date formatted per ISO 8601, i.e. date('c')
	   [paths] => Array, describing changed files

		       (
			   [action] => string letter signifying change
			   [path] =>  absolute repository path of changed file
		       )
		   [1] => ...
	       )
       )
       [1] => ...

       Note

	       The output will always be a numerically indexed array of arrays, even when there are none or only one log message(s).

	The value of $action is a subset of the status output in the first column, where possible values are:
