Problems with SVN Rename

From: Matthias Lüthi <matthias.luthi_at_gmail.com>

I'm having problems renaming files in a repository. Here's the step-by-step:
Add and commit Example.xls (SVN version x)
Use TortoiseSVN to rename the file to Example.pdf
Commit the rename (SVN version x+1)

I've been successfully using this feature last year with older versions of TortoiseSVN and therefore I expected the following to happen after step #3 above:
Example.xls is deleted and Example.pdf is added to the repository (change log shows both these operations)
In the repository I can only see Example.pdf
When I update my project to SVN version x, I get a copy of Example.xls, when I update to version x+1 I get a copy of Example.pdf

Instead I observe the following:
Example.pdf is added to the repository as expected
Example.xls is NOT deleted from the repository (Repo browser shows BOTH files and in the changelog there is only an entry for the "added" action of Example.pdf, but no "deleted" for Example.xls)
When I update my project to SVN revision x, I don't get a copy of the file at all. When I update to version x+1 though I do get Example.pdf
Revision graph and history work fine, i.e. they both show the correct relationship between Example.xls and Example.pdf

I also tried other types of renames (i.e. not just a change of the extension), but with the same result.
As for my config: I originally observed the issue under TortoiseSVN 1.6.6, but now I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6.7, Build 18415 under Windows XP Professional within a Parallels 5 Virtual Machine on OSX

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Matthias Luthi
