Thanks for the info.

Yes, I see both source and destination in two browser windows.

The drag operation was the first thing I tried. It pops up an input
dialog to enter a log message, but under that is an info dialog
"Server Busy" that says ``This action cannot be completed because the
''svn://serverx/applications - Repository Browser'' program is not
responding. Choose ''Switch To'' and correct the problem.`` with two
options ``Switch To...`` which highlights the second browser window
and ``Retry`` which pops up the info dialog again.

When I read about the problem it said it has to do with directory
permissions, but I have more than enough access to both places to do
whatever. In one google search result one SVN developer basically said
he had no clue, but for that person asking it wasn't pursued further
because he could recreate the folders manually and the revision
history didn't need to be retained.

If I can't see them in one repository window, does that mean they are
in separate repositories? They are both under svn://serverx, it would
seem to me to be the same place.
