empty log after commit

Question

After creating a new svn-depot and committing a file I get an empty log. I did the following: ``` $ mkdir tmp $ cd tmp $ svnadmin create depot $ # copy empty depot to the work repo $ svn co file:///home/antoras/dev/java/tmp/depot/ work $ cd work $ touch test $ svn add test $ svn commit -m "fist commit" $ svn log ``` After this the only output I get is a single line with `-`-signs. But I wanna have the commit message. What did I wrong and how to solve it?

Accepted Answer

Try `svn log -r HEAD:1` or `svn up && svn log` instead. Without revision arguments, `svn log` shows the log up to the revision of the working directory (or the specified paths). After `svn commit`, the local revision of the committed files is updated - but the working directory has still the previous revision. You can check this behavior with `svn info`. Try the following command after the commit operation:

```
svn info . test
```
