Re: Getting history of a file which was added when moving a folder

Hello,

i can reproduce this problem with svn 1.4.0 using an new repository in
/repository/svn by doing the following in a temporary folder:

mkdir project
cd project
mkdir folder1
cd folder1
touch file1
cd ..
svn import -m "initial import" file:///repository/svn/Test
cd ..
rm -rf project
svn co file:///repository/svn/Test project
cd project
svn move folder1 folder2
cd folder2
touch file2
svn add file2
cd ..
svn ci -m "update1"
cd folder2
echo "foobar" > file2
svn ci -m "update2"

svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2

This results in:
svn: File not found: revision 1, path '/Test/folder1/file2'

I think svn should display that the text 'foobar' was added in revision 3
of file2.
