No history for files moved in SVN.

[lambertia]

Hi All.

I have recently moved a bunch of files in svn. When I use SE to look at the file history I only see the history of the file since it was moved. However when I do an svn log --limit=10 <file> on the command line I get the complete history including pre move. This is very helpful.

It would be nice if SE could show the complete history of the file.

Hi,

I had a look with strace and you're passing stop-on-copy to svn. Is there any way for me to configure that out?

Ok I found it in subversion.e and have removed it. I wonder why this is the default? It's less than useful I think.

Greg - I just went through this with another user.  Their IT department had done a restore by merging some branches.  We use --stop-on-copy so that the "history for current branch" is fast on a local branch.  Sometimes, this is not what the user wants.  I am mulling over how to solve this.  I was initially skeptical of adding an option to use --stop-on-copy for fear people would cause issues turning it on and off by accident.  Now that there is a second case, I may add an option for it.
