In addition to what Stefan wrote, branching is done quite differently
in Subversion. Imagine having

trunk
branches
tags

below the top directory of your project and imagine having readme.txt
files in those folders. TSVN would have to search for files with
arbitrary names below branches and tags (to accomodate for renames),
which have a copy ancestor readme.txt. Worse yet: you don't know which
folder to search, as the names are only by convention. So you have to
do an all repository all version search. *shudder*

If I had to implement something like that, I would look into ViewCVSs
cvsdb (which is like bonsai), store copying information somewhere in
the db and adjust cvsgraph, if possible.
