I reopen this bug because Tortoise SVN doesn't provide enough tools for the 
tasks I need to perform. The tasks are :

1. what revisions changed a particular file ?
2. what had changed between the 2 specific revisions ?
3. what revision changed a particular line in the file ?

Before the src split I used this tool :

http://cvs.ghostscript.com/cgi-
bin/viewcvs.cgi/ghostscript/trunk/gs/src/gsmemory.c

It is pretty good for the 3 tasks listed above, except the task 3 needs a 
binary search. Currently it misses the history before the src split, so it 
became unuseful.

With Tortoise SVN the task 1 spends 5 minutes for completion. For task 2 I 
tried to run Blame with 2 specific revisions, and it only answer was "can't 
find revision xxx" where xxx is the second number specified. It spends 3 
minutes to generate that answer. As to the task 3, have no idea how to.

Nevertheless all 3 tasks are critical for the development. There exist a way 
how to do it with a command line tool, but I need a day for what I did in few 
minutes before the split. It has to be fixed.
