RE: mixed-revision moves (Re: 'svn mv' between disjoint wc's of disjoint subtrees)

I think we should fall back to this scenario if we can't keep the move
tracked, instead of just not trying at all for these users at all.

This way those clients that must stay compatible for their users can at
least try to use the new feature instead of always do the dumb thing.

Great approach.
