You would have had to have done more than that to appear to lose your
history... maybe you did this?

mv foo bar/foo
svn delete foo
svn add bar/foo
svn ci -m "moving foo to bar/foo the wrong way"

The history is not lost, of course; Subversion never loses data;
that's the point. You can still say

svn log $REPO/path/to/old/location/of/foo@42

where "42" is the last revision in which foo existed at the old
location.
