[TSVN] Problem comparing revisions after a move

Hello devs,

Here's my problem:
(I use TortoiseSvn 1.1.2 and the latest version of Subversion)
We had a VisualSourceSafe repository and moved last week to Subversion. Some of
our devs wanted to keep the history so we ran a script to import part of that
history. Being cautious (I thought), we first imported the files with the
history inside a separate project: vss-import. I checked that everything was
fine, then used the repository browser to move the imported structure inside the
trunk.

And now, the "funny" thing:
After that move, when I select a file, I can see its whole history, that's fine
:) . When I select an old revision from that history and the latest one, if I
want to see the [differences as unified diff], everything goes fine, I can see
the text difference. But if I want to see the differences using [Compare
Revisions], I receive an error message:

File not found: revision 219, path '/trunk/actual/path/of/the/file'

Which is, somehow, "logical", because at revision 219, the path was
'/vss-import/old/path/of/the/file'

As the unified diff works perfectly, I think this shouldn't be too difficult to
fix ("Where's the patch?" ... err... I know... but I lack the skills... :) ).

(I saw something fixed in the changelog, but I'm not sure if this is related:
BUG: The revision graph got confused with renames. (Stefan))

Best regards,

thanks for your work,

Frédéric Donckels
