Moving of directories and files

[Reinhard Brandstädter <re...@ams-engineering.com>]

Hi,

I'm just playing around with moving/renaming of files and directories. I 
know real moving is not available yet but all I want is to keep the 
history of files when they are moved or renamed.
I solved the problem with case sensitive renaming of files (developers 
on Windows) with using RapidSVN as frrontend rather than Tortoise or by 
using the Hint about case-sensitiveness from the FAQ

But since neither RapidSVN nor Trotoise seem to completely support 
moving whole directories I've tried the following:

- Shutting down the Apache powered SVN server and started a svnserve 
process for a test repository. ("svn mv" with http URLS doesn't work and 
fails to preserve the history of a file??)
- svn mv svn://localhost/trunk/src/java  
svn://localhost/trunk/sources/java (the java directory contains files 
with history)

This worked fine so far. When switching back to the Apache powered SVN 
server and querying the history log, I get the full history of files 
underneath the moved directory:

subversion@turtle /tmp $ svn log 
http://gaude-repos/trunk/sources/java/Test.java

------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when querying the Log of this file in the moved directory from 
Tortoise or RapidSVN I only get the last log entry (r11).
Shouldn't tortoise show the complete log too?
I'm sending this to the tortoise list too, since it might be a tortoise 
issue?

Systems used:
Subversion: version 1.1.0 (r11180)
Apache: 2.0.51
Berkeley DB: 2.4.52
TortoiseSVN: 1.1.0, Build 1769, UNICODE
RapidSVN: 0.7.0

Thanks,
Reinhard
