Obtaining a list of ancestor files

Hi all.  Is there any way of obtaining for a given file in a
repository at a given revision the list of all the previous names (paths)
it's been known as (it was copied from)?

For example, something like:

me@myhost:~/> svn ancestry -r100 svn://.../foo/bar.c
r100 /foo/bar.c
r60   /foo/barf.c
r10   /bar.c

Well... not particularly. The info is all there if you run

svn log -v svn://.../foo/bar.c

but there would be a bit of parsing necessary to make it return the  
concise list you requested.
