This gets somewhat stranger.

Doing alist operation, SVN::Client->ls on >
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01 returns an entry for the file >
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt at revision 22.
However, the revision for > http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01
after the copy is 33, with an entry of "made a copy".

If I change the code above to:

> $client->log(
> ['http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt'],
> 33,
> 22,
> 0,

I get the log entry for the copy, and the log entry for the revision 22
of the file in tags/0.01.

If I can get http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo.txt revision 22
from within http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/ revision 32 by
specifying revision 22, why can't I get
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt revision 22 from
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01 revision 33 by specifying
revision 22?

Is that a bug, a feature, or a severe misunderstanding of getting a log
entry on my part?
