svnweb (ViewVC) has a "Revision Log" link to see commit logs for files, 
but paths also support it too. Unfortauntely there's just no link to it 
in the UI.

Just append ?view=log to the URL, which will show you a commit log 
history, at that path.

Eg: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/?view=log
