See log in cmd line after svn update to revision

Question

If I update to an older revision:

svn update -rXXXX

and then try to list the log:

svn log

I only see entries up to the revision XXXX. How can I see the newer ones?

svn log will use the working copy's revision if it isn't specified. From the help text:

log: Show the log messages for a set of revision(s) and/or path(s).
usage: 1. log [PATH][@REV]
       2. log URL[@REV] [PATH...]

  1. Print the log messages for the URL corresponding to PATH
     (default: '.'). If specified, REV is the revision in which the
     URL is first looked up, and the default revision range is REV:1.
     If REV is not specified, the default revision range is BASE:1,
     since the URL might not exist in the HEAD revision.

Note the last sentence and that "BASE" is defined as "base rev of item's working copy" (again from the help text). So, just pass "HEAD" as the revision you want a log from:

svn log -r HEAD:1
