Problems with Moving Directories

Hello everyone,

I am trying to move a non-empty directory in my Subversion repository,
by moving it in my Eclipse workspace.

When I try to move it in the Resource Perspective, a "delete" (why not
move?) of the old directory is sent to the server:

delete --force
/home/aschildbach/eclipse-3.0M7-gtk/workspace/schildbach/src/lib
   D
/home/aschildbach/eclipse-3.0M7-gtk/workspace/schildbach/src/lib/j2ee.jar

Eclipse creates a local copy of the directory, marking it with a "*"
decoration.

The old directory continues to exist, and the ".svn" directory is
visible (why? shouldn't these directories stay hidden to the user?).

When I then try to commit the project, the following happens:

commit -m "directory restructored"
/home/aschildbach/eclipse-3.0M7-gtk/workspace/schildbach
   Adding workspace/schildbach/lib
   Adding workspace/schildbach/lib/j2ee.jar
   Deleting workspace/schildbach/src/lib
   Item is out-of-date
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn:
Item '/schildbach/trunk/src/lib' is out of date

(workspace/schildbach/src/lib is the old directory,
workspace/schildbach/lib is the new directory)

I cannot delete the old leftover directory by hand - Eclipse instantly
resurrects it.

I am working with Eclipse 3.0M7, the latest Subclipse downloaded from
tigris.org today and a remote SVN Server 1.0, each installed on a Debian
Linux system.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Regards,

Andreas
