Trying to see the history on a deleted directory

[Andrew Goodnough <An...@wicourts.gov>]

I don't understand why I can't list or checkout a deleted directory from
a previous revision.  The first command shows it's there but subsequent
commands can't find the path.  How do I see the history on the CC_nohist
directory when I deleted it?  Are the results from these commands what
is expected?


agoodno@linux:~/test> svn list -r 32459 http://subversion/svn/ccap

I recommend you read about the difference between "peg" and  
"operative" revisions:
