Bug#287756: tagging wontfix

Tagging wontfix, with a recommendation to close, because the reason 'svn
log' defaults to -rBASE:1 when run in a WC is actually dictated by the
underlying structure of the Subversion database:

Whilst the Subversion database makes it very easy to trace history
backwards, the same cannot be said for tracing forwards. As a result, we
don't have a good way of saying 'for this URL at BASE, give me the
corresponding object in HEAD' - remember, due to copies/moves, URL at BASE
is not necessarily the same object as URL at HEAD.

The choice of -rBASE:1 deliberately accepts that we may not be showing
as much log as might be expected, in order to ensure that we never show
logs for some other incorrect object that happens to have taken the
place of the WC's URL in HEAD.
