Merging two separate files into one new file

Hi there,

I'm wondering how to merge (or move/copy) two existing, revision-controlled 
files into a single new file, keeping the history intact. In other words: I'm 
looking for the svn equivalent of the following Unix command:

cat A B > C; rm A B 

Any useful hints appreciated.

Best

	Patricia

*sigh* This I was afraid of. Too bad. Dear developers: This is an urgent 
feature-request! :)

You would only be able to link the new file to the history of one of  
the old files, using svn rename.
