What I mean here is that I think this command sequence should
result in a no-op as far as the move operation is concerned.

Rather than running a copy+delete of B->A again as the current implementation
does, I think svn should undo the A->B move in a way that preserves any
existing modifications within B, so that the squence:

svn mv A B
svn mv B A

is a no-op, and the sequence:

svn mv A B
# make changes in B
svn mv B A

results in the equivalent of:

# make changes in A

I'm considering trying to work on this soon.
