Re: renaming in v1.8.x

I'm no expert with Tortoise/Subversion, but I think it also somehow attaches an old history information link to the new filename upon rename's move/delete action, so that prior changes applied to the old file are still linked to the new file's change history. If you manually delete/add instead of svn_rename, this history starts over for the new file at the moment of its first commit just like any other new file.

Thank you,

Are you referring to this functionality:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#moves ?

If so, as I read it moves are still a copy + delete. The change is
that the WC marks the action as a move, and won't let you commit half
of the action (the copy or the move), as previous versions did. It's
better uncommitted move *tracking* in the WC but the implementation of
the move itself is the same.
