[svnpatch/augmented-diff] missing copy-path information

(This is redirected from #svn-dev.)

I noticed 'copy-path' optional field is missing to add-dir and
add-file commands (ra_svn) when issuing repo-repo diff or repo-wc
diff. Network traces the server (svnserver here) send [1] just don't
bring copy-path information, it's not about the client-side logic.
For instance, let's say foo was copied to bar in r123, 'svn diff
-r122:123' will never receive an add-file *with copy-path* from the
server. (The whole file is transmitted instead).
The problem is svnpatch needs to bring this copy-path data for copy
and move operations, so that when "svn patch'ing", we know which file
to copy from.

I can only see one unfortunate way to solve this -- that is, dropping
some lines into the server libs to force the copy-path field to show
up (and cancel the whole file transmission too). Does anybody think
of a workaround?

[1] ( add-file ( 9:newfilecp 2:d0 2:c1 ( ) ) )

Cheers,
Charles
