RE: [TSVN] "Stop on Copy/Rename" always disabled

Some additional observations:

The user's manual says (on page 51): "When you check the log message for a branch (or tag), Show Log only displays log messages back to the root of that particular branch - the point where the copy was made. This gives a quick indication of the changes that were made in that branch only. Note that this only applies in your working copy. If you are using the repo-browser, log messages continue through branch points."

Surprisingly, the real behaviour of TortoiseSVN is right the other way around:

- In the working copy, log messages continue through branch points and the user is unable to stop that from happening as the "Stop on Copy/Rename"-checkbox is permanently disabled (I guess this is unintended behaviour, i.e. a defect).

- In the repo-browser, log messages initially stop at copies/renames and the "Stop on Copy/Rename"-checkbox is enabled and ticked. Once you unticked the box (and clicked on "Show All", which really should not be necessary) the log messages continue through branch points and the "Stop on Copy/Rename"-checkbox also gets permanently disabled (I guess this is also unintended behaviour, i.e. a defect) just like in the first case above.

In any case, the manual doesn't seem to match the behaviour of the tool. Not sure, whether the defect is in the manual or in the tool.

Malte.
