Using the SVN command line, is there a way to show the last X number of commits along with commit messages, in reverse-chronological order (newest commit first)?

Answer

svn log --limit 10

or 

svn log -l 10

Further googling uncovered the answer. svn log lists in reverse-chronological order by default.
