If you're talking about the server side, you have to ask on the
subversion mailing list. TSVN is just a Subversion client, not a server.

Not really. The log command is the only command which does that in 1.0.0
too.

"where did this file come from/go to from here" is the wrong question to
ask. Subversion doesn't handle files, but folders. You can't make a
branch with just _some_ files in a directory. Also, there is _no_ way to
tell what is a tag and what's not. Tags and branches are simple copies
in Subversion, and that copy can be named any way a user wants.

And I really don't see what exactly such a graph should show for a file.
Maybe for the /trunk folder, but for a file?
