I think the closest thing is:
svn log $(svn info --show-item=last-changed-revision README INSTALL | awk
'{print "-r", $1}')
This is more efficient than a shell loop, since the latter would
authenticate N times but this authenticates just once.
Note that «svn log -l1 `svn info --show-item=url ./` README
INSTALL» (see syntax #2 in «svn help log») doesn't do what you want: it
shows just one log message overall, rather than one per file.
