You are using PowerShell, where the {} characters have special meaning, so you must escape them. To do that, type them twice, like this:

svn log -q -r {{2019-11-24}}:{{2019-11-25}}

Or instead use the classic command line (cmd.exe) where {} works "normal".

I'm not the original poster but I'm grateful for you pointing out that the problem was with the PowerShell parsing and the curly braces being treated specially. I didn't think of that, so thanks. Unfortunately, your solution didn't work for me. I'm not sure why because it seems like a valid approach.

What did work for me was quoting the revision dates, either with single or double quotes. So, the following both worked for me:

    svn log -q -r "{2019-11-24}:{2019-11-25}"

    svn log -q -r '{2019-11-24}:{2019-11-25}'

I did also find a method of escaping the curly brackets that worked, using the backtick (`) - not to be confused with the single quote, as follows:

    svn log -q -r `{2019-11-24`}:`{2019-11-25`}

Hope this helps.
