Functionality change request for revision compare

[K F <cm...@yahoo.com>]

I was comparing two tags and if I select the older revision first 
it correctly shows a folder and the files under it as added. If I
 select the newer one first it shows the same directory as 
deleted but does not show the files under it as deleted. Is 
there a reason why it could not show the files under it as 
deleted? By not
 showing the files there is no reference to them as being a 
difference between the tags. It does the same thing if you just 
check between revisions.

Thanks,
Rich

This is a known problem. It's unlikely to be fixed in the 1.6.x line.
Maybe in 1.7. Maybe later.

See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2333
for details.
