I am not a subversion developer, but I don't think so. Deleting
directories shows all files in the directory as deleted. It is
independent of whether or not you deleted them before. I think this is
intentional to provide extra safety to prevent you from not noticing
when you're deleting things. For example, compare this modified version
of your script:

-Brad

#!/bin/sh

# initialize:
# create repos and wc, then add the following tree:
# a/
# a/file1.txt
# a/file2.txt
# b/
svnadmin create repos
svn co file://$PWD/repos wc
cd wc
svn mkdir a
svn mkdir b
echo "hello" > a/file1.txt
svn add a/file1.txt
echo "hello" > a/file2.txt
svn add a/file2.txt
echo "hello" > a/file3.txt
svn add a/file3.txt
svn ci -m "initialize"

# do a delete and a move
echo ""
echo "delete and move"
echo ""
svn rm a/file1.txt
svn mv a/file2.txt b

# show status
echo ""
echo "status before delete dir"
echo ""
svn st

# now delete the dir a
echo ""
echo "delete dir"
echo ""
svn rm a

# show status
echo ""
echo "status after delete dir"
echo ""
svn st
