That's probably because, once it's decided that a log entry needs to
be shown, it will show all paths affected in that revision (unless
authorization rules come into the picture).
If you ask for the "svn log" of a file X, the client will ask the
server: give me all the log entries in which file X has been changed.
If you're asking to show the affected paths of each of those revisions
("svn log -v", or I guess for TortoiseSVN this is the default to
always show affected paths), it will give you *all* the paths affected
in each of those revisions.
An example with the command line (I'm guessing TortoiseSVN behaves the
same, since it uses the core svn libraries under the hood):
- Say you have three files: file1, file2, file3.
- You make a change to both file1 and file2, and commit in r1.
- If you ask "svn log -v file1", it will show revision 1, with both
file1 and file2 as modified files.
- If you ask "svn log -v file3", it will show nothing.
So the issue you're highlighting is not that the server doesn't know
FileB.txt has been changed in that revision. It's that "svn log
FileB.txt" (where FileB.txt is the external) doesn't recognize that
revision as "an interesting revision to show".
