Yes. There are a number of ways, here is what I reckon is the smartest,
assuming you are using TSVN and you have a working copy of each tree handy.
1) Right-click the file you want to delete and select TSVN->delete
2) Right-drag the file you want to replace it with from one w/c to the
other (to where you have just deleted the file) - you will be presented
with a menu, select "SVN Copy File here"
3) Now right-click and do TSVN->Check-for-modifications, you will see
the file's status is "replaced(+)" - the + indicates that an SVN copy
was involved.
4) Commit the file
Notice only one commit involved. You could also use the repo-browser,
that would take two commits (one for the delete, one for the copy)
