I beg to differ: since when do I ever want to display the log for a
file...and not show the entire log? (A little background: we are 'svn
move'-ing the file *precisely* so that we can retain its history...instead
of a just a simple copy-and-delete maneuver.)

Yes, Zach and I now know to uncheck the cryptic 'stop-on-copy/rename' that
it will show the entire log...but for those who are not TortoiseSVN
experts, why do we need to know to check or uncheck this stuff?

In other words: what purpose does this checkbox serve? From what I can
tell, it has a potential to cause much more harm then good.

But I'm willing to listen to an alternative perspective if someone can
present a case better then "it does exactly what I think the checkbox is
supposed to do."
