In Eclipse I moved and renamed a few files and committed. I now understand that I should have used svn move and svn rename or done Repair move in TortoiseSVN before the commit. But I didn't do, and commited. Now the history is not linked for those files. Is it possible to recover the history?
I was using Subclipse before, and I didn't face this problem. But now I don't have Subclipse installed. So I am guessing that if Subclipse is installed, it handles this by changing the refactoring behavior of Eclipse. Is this true?
Once you have committed the changes the only way to fix this would be to start over. Delete the items and commit, and then go back and do a proper move and commit. You might also be able to use svn copy to copy the old item from history if needed.
If you were using Subclipse when you refactor the files they would be moved automatically so you would not have had this problem.
