That's correct, but it is not the complete story. The date search does return a revision even if that revision is not "correct" is some sense. However the date search works on the whole repository https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf so the revision produced will often be one which didn't change /subversion/trunk. That means that an empty log is shown just like it is for this svn log -r1643098 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk Even when a repository does have strictly mototonic dates using log with a single date will often show a blank log on non-root paths within the repository. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
