You cannot remove a subfolder from a working copy (outside of
subversion) without breaking the parent. The parent knows it should have
a child, but that child has gone missing along with its .svn folder and
the parent can no longer be committed. The only recovery from that is to
put the moved WC back, or do a fresh checkout.

You can copy a subfolder to somewhere else and it will stand as a WC in
its own right. And of course you can update/commit at any level within a
WC without reference to the parent folder.

A few months ago we did allow checking out into an already versioned
folder, but it got too hairy and was removed again in a few days.
