Then how would you/did you ever revert a non-trivial release? Probably
the least manual way is to `cvs diff` for the change being reverted,
editing the result (sed or vim) to strip the changes in the changelog
and `patch -R` the result, then commit. Any easier way?

Yes. That `svn diff` (local vs repo) and `svn revert` work disconnected.
Noboby stated anything beyond that.

Please elaborate. Show me two statements of mine (or other "svn fans")
which logically contradict one another about that matter. I never
claimed that `svn log` works disconnected. And breaking news: neither
does `svn ci`.
