The first place I looked for svn log syntax was the manual; see Examining History. E.g.
$ svn log
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initial import
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 2.1. common log requests
Command | Description |
---|---|
svn log -r 5:19 | Display logs for revisions 5 through 19 in chronological order |
svn log -r 10:5 | Display logs for revisions 5 through 19 in reverse chronological order |
svn log -r 8 | Display logs for revsion 8 only |
You may specify a URL to look at revisions outside your workspace. E.g.
svn log --quiet -r {2015-10-01}:{2015-10-08} http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/
