That's not obvious. Why is there a log entry when nothing has changed?
And the "wrong" log entry (6) works better than the "right" (5) one.

That's the difference. TortoiseSVN doesn't handle more complicated cases
or call it the "second click". But the first click gives a result
without cryptical error messages. When I uncheck the "Stop on Copy box"
I even get the whole history without any problems. Sadly enough it can't
handle the "Next 100" which shows some big problems too.

That's the little difference again. When I click on the file and
"Blame" - in TortoiseSVN it works in Subclipse it doesn't work. The more
complex case fails in TortoiseSVN too.
But again, it shows some inconsistencies or deficiencies in the
Subversion API.
Off topic: Subversion claims to have better rename and move support than
CVS. I think, it's actually worse. In CVS you know what you get and you
can depend on it. In Subversion there are so many minor or major bugs
around this feature. You'll never know what you'll get.
Is it possible to make Subclipse a little more robust for these cases? I
think, it would be much better when I won't get an error message when I
click an entry from the main menu with standard settings. In many cases
I wouldn't need the next dialog - just "standard" log and "standard" blame.
Thanks for your patience.
