No solution, I'm afraid.
I think you should be able to generate patches for B's work and apply
them to the head.
If you are using TortoiseSVN you can select both the new FileY and the
orphaned FileX, and then right-click FileY and chose Diff. B's work will
then appear as removed or altered lines of code in FileY in the
diff-viewer. These 'modifications' to FileY can be 'undone' in the
diff-viewer (right-click block and select 'use other text block'), thus
merging B's work into FileY. The result can then be saved. Be careful
not to remove A's work.
