Hi Peter,
Along the same lines,
If I "MOVE" TAG structures to the BRANCH High Level ... will I lose
History ? I copied them up and it appears I do lose history. Is there a
way to do this and NOT lose History ?

You can create the new structure in your existing up todate WC,
initially leaving the existing file set where it currently is.
Commit the new structure from the root folder.
Update just to be sure.
Then open a second explorer view and browse you old file set , select
files and drag (svn Move) to them to the required new structure.
Finally when you have everything in place and have double checked its as
you desire then commit from the root folder
Bingo all done. The file history will be preserved (assuming you are
using a recent version of TortoiseSVN i.e. within the last 12 months or
so.
