Remember that 'mv' == 'cp (add) + rm'.

This is a bug (?) that I discovered a couple weeks ago. Well, I think
it's a bug. The simpler form of this problem is:

$ svn rm b; svn cp a b

subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:205
apr_error: #13, src_err 0 : <Permission denied>
  svn_io_copy_file: copying .svn/text-base/a.svn-base to .svn/text-base/b.svn-base

That's the *real* bug. Something silly with read-only textbases. I'm
not sure I understand why we're trying to copy a's text-base on top of
b's text-base at all? If we allowed this to happen, the 'rm' wouldn't
be revertible...
