I believe they are speaking to how .svn files are in every (sub)directory of
a checkout. As an example, if I check out the root of a repository broken
into /branches, /tags, /trunk, etc. I can take the trunk directory, move it
out of the way and delete the rest, and things will still work. I believe
there is also minimal support for detecting that a directory was moved but
not svn mv'd (although in my experience, it is more that you will get
freak-outs than that this will do something which would be identified as
intelligent).
