In 1.5.x, this indicates a "rename" or "move".

If no Bad Thing happens, TSVN 1.6 will do that. Actually, it should
show all classification info like "this branch and all its copies have
been deleted".

The revision graph will detect moves / renames, iff
* a path gets deleted in one revision,
* the same path gets copied in the same revision, and
* from the previous revision, plus
* there is only one such copy
This matches the way SVN models moves and renames today.
So, the key here is that the "add" and the corresponding "delete"
must be committed in the same revision. Should that be the case
and TSVN still shows two nodes, it is probably a bug.

Thanks for the feedback. I sometimes get a feeling of "nobody
but me" finds it useful at all. It certainly has great potential.
Currently, I restructure the code to make it easier to debug
and to easier to extend with more features. Things, I would
like to see in TSVN 1.6:
* remove redundant information (path names etc.)
* don't waste that much display real estate
* toggle between current vertical display and a horizontal view
* "hide non-modifying paths" option
* collapse / expand tree
* branch structure tree (similar to what you see in the repo browser)
in a separate view
* show graph overview, revision description and branch structures
in docking windows.
Should TSVN 1.6 be delayed, we may even get merge tracking
support in.
