Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have the reference to the move operation. But getting the actual
history of "/old/place" requires me to move into "/new/place/old" and
run 'svn log' there.

My use case is that I'm doing a big reorganization if small repositories
into a large repository. To do this I use 'svnadmin dump/load' and move
the resulting directories around in the new repository to achieve a new
structure. Basically I have something like this:

/A
/B
/C

becomes

/trunk/A
/trunk/B
/trunk/C

Directory structures A, B and C each have their individual history. Now
when I am located at /trunk I want to be able to easily inspect the
history of all three A, B and C. This is not possible given the
behaviour of 'svn log' in this respect.
