svnlook
svnlook is a command-line utility for examining different aspects of a Subversion
repository. It does not make any changes to the repository—it’s just used for peek-

svnlook is typically used by the repository hooks, but a repository administrator
might find it useful for diagnostic purposes.
Since
svnlook works via direct repository access (and thus can only be used on the
machine that holds the repository), it refers to the repository with a path, not a URL.
If no revision or transaction is specified,
svnlook defaults to the youngest (most
recent) revision of the repository.
svnlook Switches
Switches in svnlook are global, just like in svn and svnadmin; however, most switches
only apply to one subcommand since the functionality of
svnlook is (intentionally)
limited in scope.
--no-diff-deleted

when a file is deleted in a transaction/revision is to print the same differences
that you would see if you had left the file but removed all the content.
--revision (-r)
Specify a particular revision number that you wish to examine.
--transaction (-t)
Specify a particular transaction id that you wish to examine.
--show-ids
Show the filesystem node revision IDs for each ...
