Diff of added file shows wrong base revision

Hi guys,

I have been copying files from old revisions today and noticed that if
you diff a newly added file the left pane in TMerge often shows a base
revision which is incorrect.

Open repository browser.
Go back to r100
Copy a file to the working copy and rename it.
Diff the file. Left pane shows the base revision as 120.

Where the revision comes from is unclear. It is normally not the
copy-from revision, nor the one after, nor HEAD, although it is not
completely random and is always somewhere in the right area.

I also notice in the repo browser that when you click on the HEAD
button you can enter a revision by hand, but there is no show log
button to help you.

Using TSVN 1.6.5 (yes, I know I should update to 1.6.6 but 1.6.7 is
just around the corner ...)

Simon
