I think the OP wants to see the revision history of the deleted
artifact, not the replacement.
You would do this in the same way as seeing the history of a deleted artifact.
I don't know of a better way than doing an "update to revision..." to
get a working copy containing the old artifact and viewing the history
from there. There is probably an easier way, maybe from the Repo
Browser, but I don't know it if there is one.
