The '-r' argument to both 'svn diff' and 'svn log' accept an absolute
date format:

$ svn log -v -r {2005-12-25}:HEAD src/engine/ |less

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch03s03.html#svn-ch-3-sect-3.3
for the many accepted date formats.

Relative dates are handled by date(1):

$ svn log -v -r {`date +%F -d'7 fortnights ago'`}:HEAD src/gnome/ |less
