Subversion does track copies however that particular change isn't a copy as far as Subversion is concerned: $ svn log -vqr881829 | grep cp- A /trunk/gcc/cp/cp-gimplify.c D /trunk/gcc/cp/cp-simplify.c The new file must have been explicitly added, rather than copied or moved, and so the history is broken. An example of a history preserving copy is: $ svn log -vqr135882 | grep path.c D /trunk/gcc/c-incpath.c A /trunk/gcc/incpath.c (from /trunk/gcc/c-incpath.c:135880) -- Philip
