Well, as a user it's suprising that the log dialog on the one hand
is able to construct the history across copies, showing revisions with
different URLs, and allows to initiate a copy from such a revision,
but then runs into an error. I understand from your comment on the
revision graph (which displays fairly quickly for me even with a large
number or branches and merges) that the information about the correct
URL is not readily available from the SVN history, so from that point
of view the behavior makes a certain sense. But it's still rather
unexpected from the user's point of view, and arguably could be
handled more gracefully. I suspect that it's a scenario that simply
wasn't considered when the functionality was originally implemented.
(And I fully sympathize with that. :))
Well, I've had the same discussion long ago with the svn developers. But
there's a reason why that info isn't available.
But: I just found an easier way to get this to work (hint: peg revision).
So as of r29071, you can create a branch from a revision from before a
rename.
That's great news, really appreciated.
I was also wondering whether it shouldn't be possible to track the
paths in the log history via the Copy revisions, as the information
about the source ("from") and target path of the copy is available. At
least that's how I determine the correct path by hand when looking at
the log.
