I'm not convinced that we need another subcommand for this.
If users have trouble discovering this functionality, what about
putting a hint into the output of 'svn help log'?
[[[
In the output of 'svn help log', provide an example that shows how
to view log messages for any changes the next 'svn update' will apply.
* subversion/svn/main.c
(svn_cl__cmd_table): Add an example to 'svn help log': svn log -rBASE:HEAD
