All I can say is... * Yes, you use "-r X" to look at revision X. I don't know where "rev" came from but it must be a very old syntax that predates my involvement with the project (which began in 2004). * Yes, svnlook looks for a format file inside your repository. My repository directories all contain that file. Don't yours? * The commit-email.pl script was deprecated years ago; the replacement is mailer.py: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/mailer/
