I noticed this while investigating (other) problems with incorrect LastChangedRev's (subtle form of working copy corruption):

If you create a new checkout of this repository, subdir's LastChangedRev will be 3, which is correct. So the wrong LastChangedRev is only there in the working copy where this commit originated. - LastChangedRev of 'dir' and test.txt are still correct (3 in this case), it's only 'subdir' that's wrong. - If the file mod of dir/subdir/test.txt isn't committed together with the move of dir->dir2, then there is also no problem: in that case, subdir and test.txt will have LCR 2 both in the working copy and in the repository (so it's not increased, but that's consistent with what's in the repository). -- Johan
