RE: How to show history of a named path?

I understand why I don't see the old history, without passing a peg revision.

But I'm surprised that there's no way to ask for all history of a given filename. Sometimes a file's path is itself important, regardless of where the file at that path came from. The manual page for "peg and operative revisions" gives some examples of where someone might want this.

Plus, there are situations where you almost HAVE to delete and recreate a path. If you merge a branch into the trunk with --reintegrate, Subversion requires you to delete and re-create the branch, if you want to use it again. But then there's no way to know that that branch had a history before it was reintegrated and re-created.
