Subclipse has always used move/rename. However, Subversion has some
limitations in these commands. For example, you cannot move/rename
something more than once without committing first. Likewise, you
cannot move a folder and then move a file in the folder. So when
Subclipse runs into these limitations it uses workarounds, such as
just adding the file.

The good news is that Subversion 1.5 finally resolves these issues and
Subclipse (in trunk) has been modified to take advantage of that.
