Bug Description
Given a directory which is versioned (e.g., http://
"Error: Revision not found or file not found in revision 6."
This isn't true -- the file still exists in revision 6 even though it is presently deleted.
Note that this is an issue for submission verification -- if a student deletes their directory they will not be able to verify the submission of a past revision.

To post a comment you must log in.
There are actually 3 separate cases here:
- Delete the entire workspace (e.g., delete mywork, as above) and try to see the history there. It's debatable whether this is even a bug, because you've deleted the checkout. We can't tell what repository you're in (though technically we could find out).
- Delete a subdirectory of a workspace, and view its history. This should work, but doesn't.
- Delete a file, and view its history. This actually does work.
So it's just the second case which is an issue.
