By the time I reply to this, Stefan will probably have written a much better
answer ;-)

The answer is yes. But ... there are complications when you move your root
folder around.
1. Show log commands stop when they get to a 'copy/move from somewhere'
point. You can get the rest of the log through this point by clicking the
Get All button, but for a large repository, 'All' might take a long time.
2. SubVersion 1.0.x seems to have problems dealing with the history when you
move the root folder. This is fixed in the 1.1.x release, which TSVN 1.1.0
RC1 uses.

You don't lose any data, it is just a bit harder to get to.

If you do move the root folder, you need to do a relocate on your WC, or
checkout a fresh WC.

Fortunately, it sounds (from the filenames) like you are just experimenting,
so there is no real data to worry about. As the manual says, it is better to
establish your chosen hierarchy, then import the data.
