Re: [Subclipse-users] Two consecutive move operations reset resource history

I have come across this issue multiple times before, Subclipse is issuing
two moves to subversion. Subversion does not handle the moves nicely. This
is an issue that Subversion has a bug out for, but the last time I checked
the bug tracker it was scheduled to be released in 1.4
