I believe I have found a bug with 'svn mv' + ACL-protected files.

Per your Issue Tracker Guidelines, I am seeking somebody who agrees
that this is a bug before I submit it.

Overview: For files, 'svn mv' does not properly inherit ACL
permissions from the parent directory.

Steps to reproduce (from a subversion working directory):
1. setfacl -d -m user:$USER:r-x .
2. touch foobar
3. svn add foobar
4. svn commit -m 'test' foobar
5. svn mv foobar barfoo
6. getfacl barfoo

If you check the ACL for barfoo after steps 2, 3, and 4, you will see
that it has properly inherited the user:jdoe:r-x permission. After
step 5, you will see that barfoo has not. You can circumvent this
behavior by using "mv" instead of "svn mv" in step 5. In this case,
you need to "svn delete foobar" and "svn add barfoo" before you can
commit the move.

Details:
CentOS release 5.4 (Final), svn 1.4.2 (from yum)

I'm not sure what else is relevant, so fire away if you have questions.
