you can use svn blame <filename> to who changed a line of <filename>. Then 
there is svn log [filename]. This will print the svn history and if you 
provide a filename, only the history of that specific file. Another handy 
thing is the svn diff command. This is used to see the changes between 2 
revisions. You can find short help using svn help [command].

May be, we should activate the item in the UI and show a small dialog 
containing some hints telling the user why he can't create a subcircuit. For 
now, this item is just enabled when it is possible to create one and disabled 
otherwise.

The action is created in src/cirtuitview.cpp: CircuitView::CircuitView().
