Well, not exactly lose, but it becomes extremely inconvenient to inspect, so
I guess practically speaking 'lose' is a mostly valid description.

No.

Perhaps this would work better:

svn rm url://to/branches/PRODUCTION/foobar
svn cp url://to/trunk url://to/branches/PRODUCTION/foobar

Then "svn log -v url://to/branches/PRODUCTION" will show what revision each
copy was made in.

Max.
