Talking to myself here ... the command line client (1.4.3) actually
gets this right.
svn status shows the original folder as missing and the new one as
unversioned, which sounds reasonable.

svn ci (to my great surprise) commits the changes in the folder it
just told me was missing, and does not delete anything.
