[Python-Dev] Trying to understand svn history (was: Buildbots have trouble checking out the repository due to recent changes.)

I'm still trying to identify what breaks in converting svn to
Mercurial at around the time of your library renamings. Specifically,
I cannot convert the svn repository history for r63104:

>svn log -r63104
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r63104 | alexandre.vassalotti | 2008-05-12 00:04:27 +0100 (Mon, 12 May
2008) | 2 lines

Moved the Queue module stub in lib-old.

>From what I can see of the changes, you simply added a
Lib/lib-old/Queue.py in that revision - Lib/queue.py was already
there. But your description "Moved..." implies you did something
slightly different (and the text of your original message on this
thread suggests that you might have done a svn copy Lib/queue.py
Lib/lib-old/Queue.py followed by an edit).

I know it's a while ago but can you recall exactly what you did? Or
can some svn guru tell me how to get svn to tell me exactly what
operations it believes went on?

This is something of a showstopper for converting Python svn->hg on
Windows, and I'd like to identify and if at all possible fix the bug.

Thanks,
Paul
