Your conclusion is inaccurate. If you do: % svn rm foo.html % svn cp foo2.html foo.html % svn ci then 'svn log' will show your entire history. (This assumes foo.html didn't have any changes in the meantime.) If you have further questions, please address them to the us...@subversion.apache.org mailing list.
