Thanks Olli,
There's something I'm missing in my environent ?
I have /usr/svn -> /pri/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-SVN
With 
	cd /pri/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-SVN/ports;ls
	# README.txt conf db format hooks locks
	svn log -qv -r '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
I got
	svn: E155007: '/pri/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-SVN/ports' is not a working copy

I suggest someone append to man svn:
	SEE ALSO https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/svn.html
non-optimal mini patches that do that are here:
	http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/devel/subversion/

I experimented some more:

 cd /usrb/tmp/svn; svn checkout -q file:///usr/svn/ports
 still running after 14 hours, so still waiting to try later.

 svn log -qv -r http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
 svn: E205000: Syntax error in revision argument 'http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head'

 svn log  http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
 svn: E160013: File not found: revision 375791, path '/head/{2011-12-28}:{2011-12-29}'

 svn log  http://svn.freebsd.org/ports '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
 svn: E160013: File not found: revision 375791, path '/{2011-12-28}:{2011-12-29}'

Questions:
 - what if anything do need to check with printenv ? (aka CVSROOT etc from the past)
 - which directory (/bin/pwd) I should be in to run that command "svn log ..." ?
 - what should the contents of that directory be ? (eg what does your ls show) ?

Thanks !

Cheers,
Julian
