Hi Michael and welcome to the group,

This information exists in your repository, but not in your working
copy. So indeed, if you can no longer connect to the repository, you
will no longer be able to access this information.

If you truly want to be able to see for each revision which lines of
code were committed and by whom, the only practical way to store that
information is in the form of an svn repository or a repository dump
that you can later use to recreate a repository. Versions doesn't have
this functionality built in and to do it you'll need to be able to
login to your svn server. For more info, google "svnadmin dump".

If just information about which file someone committed a change to and
when is enough, just the history log may do. In that case, the command
line "svn log -v" command will output a log that's very similar to
Versions' timeline view.

Run for example "svn log -v --non-interactive > mylogfile.txt" in a
Terminal window that's in your working copy directory to create or
overwrite a file named mylogfile.txt that contains all this
information. There are also options to export the log in XML and with
less detailed information, type "svn help log" to learn more about
them.

I hope this helps,

- Dirk
