There's no such feature in Subversion. I don't know whether
TortoiseSVN does something special in this regard. You'd have to ask
on the TortoiseSVN Users mailing list.

Not sure what you mean "some revisions will not be reproducible". No
history will be lost. "svn log" will show the entire history of the
object, regardless of how many times it's been copied or moved.
TortoiseSVN by default uses the --stop-on-copy option to "svn log",
which makes it stop showing history at the point where it was copied.
Not sure if you can turn that off; ask the TortoiseSVN list.
