Sorry, forgot that. I'm always using the newest versions, sometimes
even 'unofficial' i.e. the newest revisions compiled myself.

I know that. But I would expect it to work like svn log also shows
the log for the revisions before the move.
Since I'm giving the working copy path and not the repository path
(in that case the error would be ok) I don't know if the file has
been moved before or not. I would have to check that first
with svn log, but that's not usable in a script or program since
the log messages describing the move can't be used.
