Shouldn't it be the previous revision on the path for which I am
viewing the log for (rather than the previous revision for the copied
file)? I would have expected the "Changed Files" window to display the
equivalent of:
svn diff --summarize -c 7612 svn://..../alpha
I still don't understand why it is showing the equivalent of:
svn diff --summarize -r 7499:7612 svn://.../alpha
instead.
If I use the "Show Changes as Unified Diff" option on the revision, it
gives me the same output. It shows the differences of all files
changed (including those under /alpha/gamma, /alpha/delta, etc), even
those these were not changed in the revision I selected.
This only seem to be happening for a revision with a single copied
file. If I have multiple files, or multiple files with different "Copy
From" revisions, then the "Compare with Previous Revision" correctly
displays the difference between the revision selected, and the one
immediately prior to it.

If I right-click on the "foo.c" path in the bottom section of the Log
Messages dialog, and select the "Show Changes" option, then I would
expect that. This option correctly shows the difference between
source-base/foo.c_at_7499 and source-modified/foo.c_at_7612.
