Previous revision before move at new location

Dear list,

I'm currently investigating on switching from CVS to SVN for our
projects in the office. Now I stumbled over a problem that I wasn't
able to solve by checking the book, FAQ, colleagues or Google. Maybe
you can help.

Assume the following scenario.

- There is a certain history on all objects (r1 to r199)
- At some point of time (r200) a directory is renamed in the
  repository ("svn move ^/trunk/foo ^/trunk/bar")
- The development goes on (r201 to ...)
- Someone wants to use trunk/bar/somefile.c with the code from r100 at
  the current location.

a) If the moving in r200 would not have happened 'someone' could
   simply go back locally by "svn up -r100 somefile.c". But in the
   above scenario this would just remove the file.

b) What he could do is "svn merge -r HEAD:100 somefile.c". But in this
   case there is no easy way of tracking/seeing which revision is 'in'
   somefile.c now. It is just locally modified.

Is there some way to get a behavior like in a) just in the new
location?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
