Inconsistent way of showing added/deleted trees (?)

Hi there,

I found some output which IMHO is inconsistent and would like to
ask you if this is
a) a feature
b) a bug
c) a matter of design
d) an african swallow
e) anything else

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ mkdir subdir

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ touch subdir/file

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn add subdir
A subdir
A subdir/file

-> I add a tree svn shows me all added paths

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn st
A subdir
A subdir/file

-> 'svn st' shows the same as 'svn add'

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn ci -m "subdir added"
Adding subdir
Adding subdir/file
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 226.

-> 'svn ci' shows the same as 'svn add'

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn log -r HEAD -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r226 | wallace | 2006-02-15 13:56:18 +0100 (Wed, 15 Feb 2006) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   A /trunk/subdir
   A /trunk/subdir/file

subdir added
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-> 'svn log' shows the same as 'svn add'

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn mv subdir testdir
A testdir
D subdir/file
D subdir

-> now I move subdir to testdir and I see all deleted paths but
   only the top level of the added ones (different to the
   previous outputs)

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn st
D subdir
D subdir/file
A + testdir

-> 'svn st' now also gives such an output

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn ci -m "subdir moved to testdir"
Deleting subdir
Adding testdir

Committed revision 227.

-> but 'svn ci' only shows the top level directories for both
   A and D

weinert ~/Subversion/work/trunk
$ svn log -r HEAD -v
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r227 | wallace | 2006-02-15 13:56:54 +0100 (Wed, 15 Feb 2006) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   D /trunk/subdir
   A /trunk/testdir (from /trunk/subdir:226)

subdir moved to testdir
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-> 'svn log' shows the same as 'svn ci'

In short: If I add a new path, all used Subversion commands show
the whole tree. But when I copy this path 'mv' and 'st' only show
the complete tree for the delete action although again a
completely new path is added to the repository. And in addition
to that 'ci' and 'log' compress both paths, source and target.

So for me it is first inconsistent that 'mv' and 'st' sometimes
show the complete tree of the added path but sometimes only the
top level path.
And second I find it even more inconsistent that for the same
action(s) (a move) 'mv' and 'st' give a different output than
'ci' and 'log' do.

May be I am a bit to pedantic, but nevertheless I am curious to
know what you think about this.

Mathias
