This is why, as subversion exists now, that there is a pull-only portion 
of the repository for "releases." Those links need to be confirmed 
(mainly for source integrity) when files have gone through several 
add/deletes. However as new branches roll-over, the problem disappears. 
You see, the last snapshot of the previous branch is 
created/copied/linked into the new trunk. The history of the file is 
then now pointing to the previous branch instead of being newly committed.

This is also the reason is it best to work in a private repository that 
you can destroy. Actually, no, that is the reason... so you can destroy 
that one and not the "production" one.
