Imho it's simple: If item is deleted - show log for previous revision.

Now it doesn't work at all! If you are clicking "show log" of any deleted
item, now it just fails all time.
Is it clear? Sorry, my English is pretty bad. ;)

>> What is other simple way to see this log?

"If you see a log for a folder...". So, "Show log" window for any folder
(folder has to have deleted items in history, of course). ;)

The last one (but I posted bug for older). TortoiseSVN 1.4.0, Build 7501 - 32 Bit , 2006/09/15 21:34:55

Yep, sure. But it is not "simple" way ;)
