What about URL-based deletes and moves, like

svn rm http://server/repo/file
svn mv http://server/repo/file http://server/repo/new-name

and then follow those commands by an 'svn up' or something (or 'svn merge',
since the user probably doesn't want to be forced to be at HEAD).

I guess this isn't perfect, because a user probably will not want to have to
make a separate commit for each move. Have there been any plans for named
transactions from the command line?

svn create-txn foo
svn mv http://...
svn rm http://...
svn commit-txn foo

(also svn 'cancel-txn foo')
