Yes, it looks related - if I can, I will update that issue with a link to
this thread/scenario (not sure if I have permissions)...

I tried it both ways (with Subversion and with Tortoise)

Sorry for that. Here is more detail. Note I use 'touch' to simply create
empty text files:

## set up the repository
    cd c:
    mkdir svn
    cd svn
    mkdir repo
    mkdir template
    mkdir template/main
    mkdir template/branch
    
    svnadmin create repo
    svn import template file:///c:/svn/repo -m"import template"
    svn co file:///c:/svn/repo work1

## 1. create a branch and switch to it
    svn copy file:///c:/svn/repo/main file:///c:/svn/repo/branch/b -m"create
work branch"
    svn switch file:///c:/svn/repo/branch/b work1

## 2. create a folder, add a file in the folder, and commit to the branch
    mkdir work1/folder
    touch work1/folder/file1.cpp
    svn add work1/folder
    svn ci work1 -m"add a folder and a file"

## 3. create another file not in the folder and commit to the branch
    touch work1/file2.cpp
    svn add work1/file2.cpp
    svn ci work1 -m"add another file"

## 4. move the file created in step(2) to the parent directory, and commit
to the branch
    svn move work1/folder/file1.cpp work1/file1.cpp
    svn ci work1 -m"moved file from folder"

## 5. switch to the main trunk
    svn switch file:///c:/svn/repo/main work1

## 6. merge in the changes made on the branch in step 2
    svn merge -r2:3 file:///c:/svn/repo/branch/b work1

## 7. merge in the changes made on the branch in revision 4
    svn merge -r4:5 file:///c:/svn/repo/branch/b work1

## 8. commit the merges to the main trunk
    svn ci work1 -m"merge in changes from the branch"

## now to see the problem:
    svn co file:///c:/svn/repo/main work2
    svn log -v file:///c:/svn/repo/main

The file moved in step(4) appears in both locations! (ie work2/file1.cpp and
work2/folder/file1.cpp). But the log for the main trunk doesnt show this -
although the output during the commit in step(8) did!

Kind regards,
Michael Colefax
