Hi,

svn log should display the log for removed files:

  svn log svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/trunk/libmediawiki-perl

gives no output.  Only when I also pass a revision I get useful output:

  svn log svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/trunk/libmediawiki-perl@52649

This information should also be given in the first case.  In addition
the commit moving the files away should be displayed as well.

Regards,
Ansgar
