Is the above output an expected change of behavior? Previously (in
1.6) the above action generated the following output (as can be seen
in the original description of issue 3474):

[[[
$ svn mv subdir/ subdir2
A subdir2
A subdir2\a.txt
D subdir
]]]

It's no problem for me (the result is perfectly fine), just wondering ...

In fact, I never quite understood the output in 1.6 (why are all
children of a moved directory shown as deleted, and not as added in
the new dir?). But I don't understand it now either (I can reverse the
question). Is there any rational explanation, any underlying
reasoning, principles, ... ?

Cheers,
