Public bug reported:

Shorten a repository tree structure by moving a nested directory to
its parent.  Modify a file in that relocated directory and commit it.
Then, try to diff two revisions of the file that span the move.  It
fails with a "bad path" exception.

I saw this in a production situation and was able to reproduce it with
a small test setup.  I'm poking around a bit in svnactions.cpp and
below to see if I can instrument what's happening, but the code is
very dense.

This bug is a serious show-stopper, IMHO, since I have to drop back to
commandline diffs (very slow when browsing a long chain of updates).

Occurs with version 1.5.3 (Lucid) and 1.5.5 (Maverick) - Haven't tried
anything newer, but there have not been any upstream releases newer than
1.5.5.
