locating and relinking artifact history after replace action

A developer made changes by this sequence of actions:
1. copied the artifact
2. edited this copy
3. deleted the original
4. renamed the copy to match the original file name
5. commit to repository

This was recognized by svn as a Replace action and now we cannot access the prior revision history from the artifact or locate the prior revision for revert purposes.

Using 1.6 svn and tortoise. Repository actions are done from UIs, not svn commandline.

Is there a way to relink the artifacts (so it is more like what an Update would have done)? If not, is there a way to locate artifacts by name search so we can revert to that in a wc, remake the changes and commit, discarding the artifact that was the "replace"?

Any other suggestions to remedy this circumstance are welcome.
