I have been doing some more tests and now I am really confused.
Create a local repository, import files and edit test.c as above (rev 3).
Rename test.c to newtest.c and commit (rev 4).
Edit newtest.c and commit (rev 5).

This works OK.
>From repo-browser, show log for newtest.c and compare revisions 2 and 4.
This fails.
Error message: File not found: revision 2, path '/Harry/newtest.c'
In both instances I am comparing 2 old revs from the repository, so why does
one work and the other fail?
Now, going back to my previous test with a renamed folder, I try the same
thing. Comparing the 2 revs from explorer works correctly, although I am
unable to update my WC to the older rev. I will go back to SVN with this
because they are saying that getting old revisions through a name change is
too difficult. Clearly it is possible to do it because they are generating
the unified diff file.
