Hello,
JavaSVN doesn't support "file" protocol, so what I just suggested will not
work for you if you're using "file" protocol to access repository. However,
adding code that traces renames before getting file contents, took me around
7 minutes, so I think Subclipse may also easily workaround Subversion
limitation if there are any.
The algorithm is to check whether file exists at the desired revision before
getting file contents and if not, trace file renames from the HEAD to the
desired revision with the "log" operation, then use "original" name. But, as
Subclipse already got "log" for the file, it probably should be able to
detect "real" file name even before additional "log" request, and it will be
more reliable. The first way probably will not work if file already deleted
in "head", but when talking about Subclipse log/compare operations only it
is not the case most of the times.
