[Cdash] Problem with ViewVC and new file

[Julien Jomier]

Mat,

This is the problem. We don't want to perform a complete svn log on each 
updated file, because it would be too slow. If there is a way to get the 
previous revision of a file with svn that would be OK and hopefully we 
won't have hundreds of file checked in every day.

If there's a better way, let me know.
