Question about 'svn move' and commit behaviour in the repository.

Hi all,

Sorry, in case it is answered before, but could not find by googling. I'm
running Subversion 1.6.1 with apache httpd 2.2.11 with LDAP on CentOS 5.x.
I have following structure of the repository named MyRepo :

/trunk
   - folderA/
   - folderB/
   - folderC/

/trunk has these three folders. What I did was created a WC of /trunk and
run the following command to move "folderA" into "folderC" :

svn move http://myserver.mydomain.com/svn/MyRepo/folderA
http://myserver.mydomain.com/svn/MyRepo/folderC -m "folderA moved to
folderC"

and command run successfully and new revision committed in the repository.
I checked in the repository and folder it moved, but when I right click and
show log of that folder it says folder does not exist but TortoiseSVN Repo
browser shows that folder is moved and it is visible.

 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.svn.c.move.html says that it is
possible to move WC--> WC and URL-->URL. But i'm not sure if I'm missing
something here?

Does URL-->URL move retain the history too ?

Can someobdy point as to what is wrong here?

Thanks.
