"new" was created in r2 so running 'log' on it will not show earlier revisions. (Well, unless you pass -g) 'log' just walks the history of a node; it won't show revisions in which that node did not exist. But the reference to r1 is not lost; is it present in line 4 of the output: [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r3 | danielsh | 2012-10-31 04:41:25 +0000 (Wed, 31 Oct 2012) | 1 line Changed paths: A /new/place/old (from /old/place:1) D /old/place ... ]]] HTH Daniel > --------------------------------------------------- > > What I expected was to see all the history about what happened in the > "old/place" directory anywhere in the "new" sub-tree.
