Thanks so much for your quick response. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. :-( When would a file.svn-revert file be created for the "file" example below? On a merge? A regular commit following modifications? Does anything in the logs distinguish these files? And would I expect the file.svn-revert file to be there for the life of the working copy?

When a file is replaced by a different file, where that last file has an history. In this case wc-1.0 needs one additional level of history. E.g. svn rm file svn cp other-file file or svn cp u...@rev file This feature was actually added in Subversion 1.4. Before that you would get an error that you had to commit the delete before adding a new file with history. (And in Subversion 1.7 this will be handled in a completely different way as part of the WC-NG work) Bert
