RFE: Show deletions and moves in repobrowser

Hi,

I hope this isn't a duplicate request as I couldn't find it on the
issue tracker. The mailing list search returned too many results, so
if it has already been covered, forgive me.

As a long time cvs user, one of my biggest pet-peeves with subversion
is the difficulty "seeing" what's been deleted or moved. With most
modern cvs gui-frontends and web-frontends, you could tell the browser
to "show deleted files". This is especially useful in cases where you
are trying to explore a huge project, such a gcc. I've checked over on
the subversion lists and it appears the developers find their
byzantine way of tracking these types of changes to be quite
satisfactory and have poo-poo'ed any notion of adding something
better. I assume that any such functionality must, therefore, be
sought in the frontends. Now I know you can already see this in the
TSVN changeset logviewer, but I was hoping to see if it would be
possible to add an option to "show" deletions/moves in the graphical
repobrowser. Maybe show the file greyed out or with a special icon? If
it is a move, perhaps indicate where it was moved to? Anything that
would better help to visualize these deletions/moves in the
repobrowser would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
