[TSVN] Re: Error when diffing across a copy

No, because between rev-1 and rev a file can only be copied once.
Otherwise there were more than one revision involved. And filename at
revision rev is known, because I explicitly click on it in the log
view's file list.

I don't understand. I assume that TSVN has a way of applying a patch to
a file. Then TSVN can create filename.old by applying the diff to
filename.new. Then you can show filename.old and filename.new with any
diff viewer you like.

Where am I wrong?

PS: You might stop this duscussion any time when you think that svn 1.2
will solve this automatically, of if such a change would not make it
into TSVN 1.1.x anyway...
