Although the mv command only prints a single 'A' for the new directory
it is a copy of the old directory including its contents. If you run

   svn st trunk

you should see something like

   A + trunk/docs

Note the '+' for copy with history. Have you looked inside the new
trunk/docs? Is it really empty? The mv command seems to work when I
try it.

Perhaps the feedback for copy/mv should print

A + some/dir

instead of

A some/dir
