Comparing SVN to yourself is not going to help well, unless you've been
resurrected already :)

If you take a closer look at the script attached to my previous post, you'll
see that file1_at_1 and file1_at_2 is a two different files.
Completely different.

If you want translation of my construction to "normal english", it would read
svn cat "Show me
 -r HEAD current content
 file://repos/file1_at_1 of the file that originating from /file1 in revision 1

Because SVN, unlike CVS, *DO* track file renames, it SHOULD find it... but it
couldn't...
