I see your point.
But that does not change the fact that the usual behaviour of "show
differences" is broken in this situation. The user expects that this
command shows "differences made in the selected revision for the
selected file" (quote from the manual). Well, after a file has been
copied, the command does no longer do this. It might not be a bug from
your point of view, but it is at least a usability error/flaw.

Maybe TSVN could be so smart to detect that the previous version of the
file has a different name? No way to give a PEG revision to the cat
command so SVN tracks the copy, or to detect the different path using
the log?
