Unfortunately, Subversion doesn't have the required information at this
time. A move is a copy + delete. So, libcomplex/file.txt is a copy of
lib/file.txt@1, and lib/file.txt was deleted in rev 2.

svn mv is no different than doing the following:
svn copy -r1 lib/file.txt libcomplex/file.txt
svn delete lib/file.txt

Hope I've explained myself clearly enough.

Bye !
