svn blame problem

Does svn blame not know how to handle directory changes in the past?  At
rev 97 I changed the directory layout.  Actually I changed it a few times
but every file I try to run blame on complains about rev 97.  I didn't
see anything like this in the issue tracker.

C:\svn\RatControl\ratcontrol\cc>svn blame vob.py
svn: Error string not specified yet
svn: Missing changed-path information for revision 97 of
'/trunk/ratcontrol/vob.
py'

I'm running svn version 0.32.1; client on Windows 2000, server on RH9 w/
Apache 2.0.47.

Thanks much.

The name of the repository shouldn't be stored in the repository
itself.  But the URL to it is stored in the working copy.  'svn switch
--relocate' would be the plan for fixing the working copy.

Ahhh.... I think I know the problem.  I renamed the repo once a while
back.  Don't recall exactly how I did it, but it used to be stored in
/home/svnroot/twistedcc and then I changed it to
/home/svnroot/RatControl.  I must've been thinking the name of the repo
directory wasn't stored in it anywhere.  Do you know what I can do to
resolve this?  Maybe I need to start digging through the doc again.

Try this:

   $ svn log -v -r 97

Do you see this vob.py in the list of changed paths in revision 97?
Do you see that one of its parent directories was copied in that
revision 97?

If not, this is issue #1578.  If so ... this could be a new bug in
blame.  If you aren't sure what you're looking for, post the results
of the 'svn log' command above to the list, and I'll let you know what
I think.
