Andy, Thanks for the reply, but svn log --verbose does not do what I asked about. What I'm interested in is something like cvs log which shows the number of lines affected by the change, e.g., "lines: +10 -5".

Try svn log --verbose Always look to svn help <command> first when you have a question about how a command works. The help provided by Subversion is pretty good.
