Never copy files in between working copies! Subversion will allow that
(sometimes), but it almost never really works. In your case, it worked
ok - but just for the future: don't do that!

Subversion doesn't have a log API that takes a peg revision (in
1.3.x), and the one in 1.4.x doesn't always work as expected.

If you need to see the difference in a 'renamed' case, show the log
for the file in question and then choose the two revisions or the
corresponding menu entry on the top view in the log dialog, *not* the
bottom view.
