This is a good idea, of course if somebody didn't specify the magic -I
switch to their 'svk sm' incantation then there will be multiple changes
listed in a single revision

some examples

http://dev.catalystframework.org/svnweb/Catalyst/revision/?rev=6477
svn log -r 7190:7190 http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs

There was also a pretty nasty bug in SVK which pushed huge commitlogs
with no changes

see for example

http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=pugs;a=commit;h=817b73f
(or:
svn log -r 14734:14734 http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs
svn diff -r 14733:14734 http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs
)

That occurred often enough that it might even be worth detecting and
dealing with specially.  ie, if multiple SVK changesets are seen in a
commit with no changes, mark it as likely bogus.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to say about all this other than "lolsvn".
