Copy/move in the repository does not lose any history. But by default
the TSVN show-log function stops when it hits a copy, because it is
often a branch creation point. In your case this is a wrong assumption.
Next to the 'Get All' button is a 'Stop on copy/rename' checkbox. Make
sure that is unchecked, then click Get All.

In 1.1.4 (coming soon?) the default action will be _not_ to stop on
copies/renames, because this is a frequent cause of confusion.
