RE: Determining origin of branch

Though the behaviour may be the same in both cases, the example that you
give is not quite the same as my situation. I'm renaming an ancestor
directory common to both the trunk and branches directory (two levels
up), not the "branches" directory itself. Here is the scenario:

Assume that we start with the following repository tree:

svn list --recursive http://localhost/subversion/project

Revision 0:
project1/subsystemA/branches
project1/subsystemA/trunk
project1/subsystemB/branches
project1/subsystemB/trunk

Create branch1 in subsystemA:

svn copy http://localhost/subversion/project/project1/subsystemA/trunk
http://localhost/subversion/project/project1/subsystemA/branches/branch1

svn list --recursive http://localhost/subversion/project

Revision 1:
project1/subsystemA/branches project1/subsystemA/branches/branch1
project1/subsystemA/trunk
project1/subsystemB/branches
project1/subsystemB/trunk

Now rename project1 to project2 (directly in the repository):

svn move http://localhost/subversion/project/project1/
http://localhost/subversion/project/project2

svn list --recursive http://localhost/subversion/project

Revision 2:
project2/subsystemA/branches project2/subsystemA/branches/branch1
project2/subsystemA/trunk
project2/subsystemB/branches
project2/subsystemB/trunk

Display the log on branch1:

svn log --verbose --stop-on-copy
http://localhost/subversion/project/project2/subsystemA/branches/branch1

Though I expected (or intended) to see revision 1 (the branch point) in
the log, the log instead stops at revision 2 because we renamed ancestor
directory project1 to project2 (a delete and copy operation).

Can you provide a recipe for this behavior? The --stop-on-copy option
should only apply when the target of the log operation was the thing
that got copied. In other words, if you do:

   svn copy trunk branches/foo
   ...
   svn copy trunk/junk branches/foo/junk
   ...
   svn log --stop-on-copy branches/foo

Your log output should continue past the copy of the thing *into* your
branch, and stop with the copy that created your branch. If you've
found an instance where this is not happening correctly, please try to
come up with a reproducible recipe, because that is a bug.
