Viewing deleted files and their history (and for SVN deleted branches are just a special case of deleted files) is something SVN is bad at since you do need to work out the last revision the file was present first. I hope that any version control system we change to will make it easy again to see the history of a deleted file (including one in a deleted directory, or on a deleted branch) if you know its name but not exactly when it was deleted. -- Joseph S.
