Re: strange behavior, history lost

I'm pretty sure it is possible. Most notable, i'm receiving the same error
messages as you, but I still can access old file by other commands.
It apperas you are using wrong format to the command.
Have you tried
svn up --force -r2785 Makefile.am
from your working copy?
What svn log telling you about changes made to that file?

Try
svn del Makefile.am
svn copy https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/ITAPS/MOAB/trunk/tools/dagmc/Makefile.am@2785 .
