Well, we've done massive code-reordering recently and I can "svn log"
all the way back to revision 2 of 38000+ from my working copy. svn does all 
lookups behind  the scene. It's most likely a client problem...

When using TortoiseSVN you have to manually disable the "stop on copy/rename" 
button on the log page. 

Yours,

Jürgen
