I'm not sure, and I have no idea how you're getting strings like
"/!svn/" and "/bc/" in your output, but it works fine here if I point
it at the trunk instead:
$ svn log -v -r36760 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk

r36760 | mwh | 2004年08月03日 10:37:14 -0400 (2004年8月03日) | 2 lines
Changed paths:
 A /python/trunk/Lib/test/test_threadsignals.py
Argh! This was meant to be part of patch #960406.
