Are you (svn-) moving only the file or the directory in its entirety? If
you're only moving the file, but manually recreating the directory structure
(somefolder/base in your example), and then looking a the history of the
folder, obviously it's not going to see the history of the folder itself,
since there is none beyond you creating the folder and adding the file. But
you should still see history on the file itself by running svn log directly
against it.
Hope that makes sense,

Rob
