Subclipse does do an svn move. If you look in the Console view you can
see the commands we execute.

In Subversion a move is implemented as a copy (add with history) + delete.
 You see a + decorator because the new moved file is now a scheduled Add
to the repository. When you commit, you will want to perform the commit
from a common parent and commit the delete and add together. After you
commit, a Show in Resource History on the moved file will show you the
history of the file prior to the move. That is essentially, all this
feature in Subversion gives you.
