................................................ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I tried that & Svn finaly ran. Thanks :-)
Your last post had no trailing URL, just:
	> svn log -qv -r '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}'
I had been wrongly assuming svn would fetch from some assumed path, perhaps /usr/svn,
perhaps with setenv environment variable over-ride (aka cvs & CVSROOT). I had also tried
	svn log -qv -r '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}' /usr/svn/ports
but svn failed with useless error message:
	svn: E155007: '/usr/svn/ports' is not a working copy
now I've tried with 
	svn log -qv -r '{2011-12-28}':'{2011-12-29}' file:///usr/svn/ports
& that too runs :-)

It's late, I'll work through the rest of your example tomorrow. Thanks Olli !

Cheers,
Julian
