SVN log error dates mismatch

Question

I tried to list the activities done in a SVN repository between the two dates using SVN log command. i have given date from 2012 to 2013 but it is giving output fo 2010 . Can somebody help on this

C:\Users\madsrini>svn log URL -r{2012-08-01}:{2013-02-21}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1 | <USERNAME> | 2010-12-10 18:04:52 +0530 (Fri, 10 Dec 2010) | 1 line

Well, he has tried querying for revisions between August 1, 2012 and February 21, 2013, and is given a revision from 2010. Why that happens seems like a fair question to me. — Pekka

Plese, re-read SVN Book, "Revision Dates" chapter

When you specify a date, Subversion resolves that date to the most recent revision of the repository as of that date

and warning "Is Subversion a Day Early?"

If you specify a single date as a revision without specifying a time of day (for example 2006-11-27), you may think that Subversion should give you the last revision that took place on the 27th of November. Instead, you'll get back a revision from the 26th, or even earlier.

Your log show (as requested): the most recent revision before 2012-08-01 was 2010-12-10

@user2094897 - you really have revision only from 2010 year really, can't see problem here. I'll prefer in your case to use svn log -q -r HEAD <REPO-ROOT> and parse date from this log-record for every repository or check svn info <REPO-ROOT>
