TSVN can't monitor & protect against seemingly random file movement.
It's not as simple as you seem to think it is.

Install AnkhSVN, it's a Visual Studio plugin for Subversion, will let
you do all your SVN operations within VS, and should help you avoid
this. At the very least, you'll be able to SVN Move the files instead
of a "naked" drag & drop (I haven't done any refactoring in VS yet, so
I can't say how much it does for you; I know Subclipse does handle
this automatically).
