Ahem. Let me finish my thought.

Because r14341 was a copy, the history walk on project_tools.html
jumps back to r14339 (the copy source), bypassing r14340 (in which it
was deleted). And then it continues back through r13763.

This is not a bug -- 'svn log' does versioned resource history-based
reporting, not path-based reporting. Sometimes I think it should take
an option to do path-based reporting, but that's neither here nor there.
